Drone operators should avoid flying near airports because it is difficult for manned aircraft to see and avoid a drone while flying. Remember that drone operators must avoid manned aircraft and are responsible for any safety hazard their drone creates in an airport environment.

Some basic rules are:

• Fly at or below 400 feet.
• Keep your drone within sight.
• Don't fly in restricted airspace.
• Don't fly near other aircraft, especially near airports.
• Don't fly over groups of people.
• Don't fly over stadiums or sports events.
• Don't fly near emergency response efforts such as police or fire.
