In the United States, drone laws are overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Operators must register their drones with the FAA and adhere to specific rules such as flying below 400 feet, keeping the drone within line of sight, and avoiding restricted airspace like airports and government buildings.
In the United Kingdom, drone pilots are required to obtain a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Additionally, drones weighing over 250g must be registered, and operators need to pass a theory test to get a Flyer ID. Certain no-fly zones exist, including airports and urban areas.
In Australia, drone regulations are managed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Recreational drone operators must keep their drones under 120 meters in controlled airspace and avoid areas where emergency operations are underway. Commercial operators need certification from CASA.
