Where Can I Fly in Connecticut? - Every Drone Law 2019 - Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford (Episode 7)
now I get asked all the time about drill
mods and specific states cities counties
so in this pity party series I'm gonna
go over every single state and the drill
laws that exist in that state so 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
Connecticut and want to ply your drum
here are the rules you must abide by now
there's three different parts of this
there's the federal laws the state laws
in the city laws now if you're flying
just for fun a lot not for cash or
cheque doesn't matter here are the rules
you must abide by now if you are flying
commercially skip to this time code now
first you must register your drone
before flight to the FAA Jerome zone
website I'll link it below you must fly
within visual sight your drone must be
under 55 pounds now that is very very
heavy most consumer drones are like
between one and three pounds you must
never fly near another aircraft if
you're flying within five miles of any
Airport you must notify the control
tower and lastly 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 register your drone with the FAA
drone zone website again I'll link it
below 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 a hundred miles per hour
what drone goes a hundred miles per hour
I barely drive it 100 miles per hour
you must yield the right-of-way to any
manned aircraft can't fly over people
and lastly you cannot fly from a moving
vehicle unless you're in a lightly
populated area which I'm guessing is
like farmland now these eight things
you can actually get a waiver from the
FAA to void them but you must go through
the legal process now that we got the
federal laws out of the way which are
countrywide remember you always have to
buy by these rules here are the state
and local laws so in Connecticut drones
are banned from flying in state parks
forests and other lands controlled by
the Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection sorry I had to
read that last part studies in
Connecticut aren't allowed to regulate
drone usage but cities that are also
defined as water companies can regulate
drone usage over their cities public
water supply and class-1 and to land as
long as it doesn't conflict with federal
law according to a recent law passed
within this day a water company is
defined as supplying water to 25 or more
people on a regular basis which means
all of them get it up now every law that
I just mentioned is linked below thank
you for watching make sure to fly safely
and if you have any additional questions
just ask I'll see you next time
