Where to fly drones in the bay area
Where Can I Fly in California? - Every Drone Law 2019 - Los Angeles, San Diego, SF (Episode 5)
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 a visit in
California where I live and you want to
fly your drone here are the rules you
must abide by now there is quite a few
drone law so buckle up
now there's three different parts of
this there's the federal laws the state
laws and the city laws now if you're
flying just for fun a la and not for
cash or check 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
drone 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 100 miles per hour
what drone goes a hundred miles per hour
I barely drive a hundred 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
lated area which I'm guessing is like
farmland now these eight things you can
actually get a waiver from the FAA to
void them so 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
abide by these rules here are the state
and local laws it is currently a
misdemeanor to interfere with first
responders during an emergency
also if a first responder breaks your
drone they get immunity perks of the job
but I read such specific laws like this
you know someone sued someone so that
how to make a law about it anyways I
digress it is also illegal to record
someone who has a reasonable expectation
of privacy now if you're looking to fly
your drone in one of California's nine
national parks you can't it's prohibited
now for the city laws in the city of
you're Belinda you are prohibited from
taking off within 25 feet of a person
outside of visual sites on someone
else's private property and within 500
feet of any special event or emergency
response in the city of Calabasas you
are not allowed to fly within 200 feet
of any school or public event and within
100 feet of any public building or
facility without prior consent so it's
not legal you just have to notify them
beforehand in Hermosa Beach you have to
get an operating permit and an ID number
from the local police before you take
flight 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
