it
oh also this is not legal advice now
either you live in or plan on visiting
Washington and you want to fly your
drone here's every drill ma you need to
follow
now there's three different parts to
this there's the federal there's state
and there's city laws and you need to
follow all of them now first let's go
over the federal laws now if you're
flying for fun a lot not for money here
is every federal law you need to follow
but if you are flying for cash skip to
this time code 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 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
within Class G airspace you must fly
below 400 feet you can only fly during
daytime or at civil twilight which is 30
minutes after sunset you must fly under
100 miles per hour
you must yield the right away to all
manned aircraft I can't fly over people
and lastly you must not fly from a
moving vehicle unless you're in a
lightly populated area now these things
can be waived by the FAA but you must
get a waiver beforehand now that we got
the federal laws out of the way here the
state laws drone flight is not allowed
at any Bellevue parks now if you do plan
on flying out there I do recommend
checking out this guidebook it
detailed local laws but it also gives
you contact information for questions

400 feet of the lateral boundaries of
numerous Department of Energy facilities
including the Hannaford site in Franklin
County now for the city laws in Seattle
