hello everyone my name is Nick and I am
a professional drone pilot now I get
asked all the time about very strong
laws in different states cities counties
so in this 50 part series I'm gonna go
over every drill ma in each state city
and county now make sure you hit that
subscribe button and let's get into it
Oh also this is not legal advice now
either you live in or plan on visiting
South Carolina and you want to fly your
drone here is every drone law you need
to follow now there are a couple
different parts of this there's the
federal laws the state laws as in the
city laws and you must abide by all of
them now if you're flying for fun a lot
not for cash here are the federal laws
you need to follow now if you are flying
commercially skip to this time code
firstly you must register your drone
with the FAA drone zone website I'll
link it below you must fly within visual
sight you must fly below 400 feet your
drone must be under 55 pounds oh that is
a big drum you must never fly near
another aircraft if you're flying within
5 miles of an airport you must notify
the control tower and you must never fly
near emergency response efforts now for
the commercial fliers you must hold a
remote pilot's license issued by the FAA
you must also register your drone with
the FAA drone zone website your drone
must be under 55 pounds you must fly in
Class G airspace you must fly below 400
feet you must fly during the day or at
civil twilight which is 30 minutes after
sunset you must fly under 100 miles per
hour
Debbi fast you must yield the
right-of-way to all manned aircraft you
can't fly over people and you cannot fly
from a moving vehicle unless in a
lightly populated area now these things
can be waived but you must get clearance
from the FAA beforehand now that we got
the federal laws out of the way which
our country why do you always have to
follow these laws here are the state and
local laws in South Carolina there is an
airspace restriction around the Savannah
National Laboratory you may not fly
within 400 feet of the lateral
boundaries of this facility
and uh that's actually it thank you for
watching if you have any questions just
let me know in the comments below and
I'll see you next time happy flying
