US rules
What applies on every flight.
FAA rules depend on why you fly. Your pilot type is highlighted. Switch it at the top of the page.
| Rule | RecreationalYou | Part 107You |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Flying purely for fun | Any other flight, including paid work |
| Certificate | TRUST certificate, a free online test | Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA knowledge test |
| Registration | Drones over 250 g (0.55 lb) | Every drone |
| Remote ID | Required for registered drones, unless you fly inside a FRIA | Required, unless you fly inside a FRIA |
| Altitude | 400 ft above ground, at most | 400 ft above ground, or within 400 ft of a taller structure |
| Controlled airspace | Authorization first, through LAANC | Authorization first, through LAANC or FAA DroneZone |
| Line of sight | Keep it in sight, yours or a visual observer's next to you | Keep it in sight, yours or a visual observer's |
| Night | Lighting that shows where the drone is | Anti-collision lights visible for 3 statute miles |
| Weather | Follow a community-based organization's safety guidelines | 3 statute miles visibility, 500 ft below and 2,000 ft away from clouds |
Where you take off matters
The FAA controls the airspace. States, cities and landowners can still limit where you take off and land, from city parks to private property.
Parks and wilderness
National parks need the superintendent's written approval for any drone launch. Designated wilderness bans launching and landing.
Rules in motion
The FAA's Part 108 rule for flights beyond visual line of sight is still in the works. Follow it on the Regulation tracker.
Coverage
The United States first. The world next.
Every check here runs on US public data: FAA airspace and drone restriction maps, National Weather Service alerts, and National Park Service and Forest Service boundaries. Worldwide coverage coming in 2027.

Method
How each answer is made.
Airspace and LAANC
Class airspace and UAS facility map grids come from the FAA's public map services. A grid's number is the highest altitude LAANC can approve there. 0 ft means no automatic approval.
Restrictions
Special use airspace, national security sites, national defense areas, the DC zones, stadium events and park boundaries are all checked at the exact point you pick.
Notices
Weather alerts come from the National Weather Service and stadium event times from the FAA's SEAMS feed. A live TFR scanner is coming soon. Until then, check the FAA TFR map before you launch.
Weather
Open-Meteo forecasts at 10 m and 120 m (about 400 ft). The rating uses Part 107's 3-mile visibility minimum plus gust limits of 17 mph for caution and 25 mph for no-go.

A planning aid, not an FAA authorization. This page doesn't scan TFRs yet, and data can lag behind new NOTAMs. Before every flight, confirm with an FAA-approved B4UFLY or LAANC app and the FAA TFR list, and follow local laws for where you take off and land.
