The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230321062746/https://faadronezone.faa.gov/#/">DroneZone</a> is the <abbr>FAA</abbr>'s official website for registration. If you are having trouble logging into the DroneZone, you may need to <a href="/web/20230321062746/https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/uas/recreational_fliers/DZ_Password_Reset.pdf">reset your password</a> <small>(<abbr>PDF</abbr>)</small>. Be sure to use the email you used when you originally registered your drone with the <abbr>FAA</abbr>.</div> <p>The rule for operating unmanned aircraft systems (<abbr>UAS</abbr>) or drones under 55 pounds in the National Airspace System (<abbr>NAS</abbr>) is <a href="/web/20230321062746/https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators">14 CFR Part 107, referred to as the Small <abbr>UAS</abbr> Rule</a>. However, if you want to fly a drone for purely recreational purposes, there is a limited statutory exception ("carve out") that provides a basic set of requirements.</p> <p><a href="/web/20230321062746/https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/knowledge_test_updates">The Recreational <abbr>UAS</abbr> Safety Test or TRUST</a> is available! Recreational flyers are encouraged to take and pass TRUST at their earliest opportunity and carry proof of passage when flying.</p> <h2>What is a Recreational Flight?</h2> <p>Many people assume that a recreational flight simply means not flying for a business or being compensated. But, that's not always the case. Compensation, or the lack of it, is not what determines if a flight was recreational or not. Before you fly your drone, you need to know which regulations apply to your flight.</p> <p>The default regulation for drones weighing under 55 pounds is Part 107. Almost all non-recreational drone flying is regulated by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230321062746/https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators">Part 107.</a></p> <ul><li><b>Note:</b> Non-recreational drone flying include things like taking photos to help sell a property or service, roof inspections, or taking pictures of a high school football game for the school's website. Goodwill can also be considered non-recreational. This would include things like volunteering to use your drone to survey coastlines on behalf of a non-profit organization.</li> </ul><p>Remember, if you’re not sure which rules apply to your flight, fly under Part 107.<br/><br/> Congress created the Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft to allow those flying drones purely for fun or personal enjoyment to operate without complying with Part 107. People flying under this Exception are required to comply will all rules for recreational flyers.<br/> </p> <h2>What are the Rules for Recreational Flyers?</h2> <p>The Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230321062746/https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section44809&num=0&edition=prelim">USC 44809</a>) is the law that describes how, when, and where you can fly drones for recreational purposes.
