SAFETY
Action Drone aerial systems are NOT toys. Minors should always fly under adult supervision. Fly with full attention
at all times and never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Fly smart and fly safe.
We recommend becoming a member of The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) – the largest model aviation
organization in the world. Visit the Know Before You Fly website at www.knowbeforeyoufly.org for more
information. For U.S. FAA guidelines, commercial, and/or public-use flying updates, visit www.faa.gov/uas.
LAW
Respect Local ordinances. Respect community ordinances and guidelines established for public places. Even if
nothing is posted, it is good to check with local authorities before you fly. Respect your neighbors’ privacy.
LIMITS
Fly within local enforcement guidelines. For U.S. users, these include rules set forth by federal laws and guidelines
recommended by the AMA. Fly within Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines. Unless you have proper
authority and/or authorized certifications, do no fly beyond your Visual Line of Sight (VLOS). Do not fly in high
winds or reduced visibility. Do not fly within 25 feet of bystanders. Avoid flying near stadiums and large open-air
events.
SURROUNDINGS
Know the conditions. Scout for large open areas. Be sure there are no distractions when you are flying. Be aware
of your surroundings. NOTE: Flying close to large obstacles such as buildings, structures and trees can reduce
GPS accuracy and may cause anomalies in flight behavior.
Unless you have proper authority and/or authorized certifications, do not fly your unmanned aircraft near
bystanders or during emergency situations such as wildfires, medical evacuations, or search-and-rescue
operations. Watch for and avoid potential hazards in your environment such as: Manned aircraft, Unprotected
people, Moving vehicles, Roadways, Private property, Infrastructure, and Deteriorating weather.
AIRSPACE
Share the sky. Unless you have proper authority and/or authorized certifications, in the U.S., the FAA currently
expects all unmanned aircraft operators to:
1.
Fly below 400 feet.
2. See and avoid manned aircraft.
3. Be aware of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) that affect the operation of unmanned or remote
controlled aircraft. You can find information on current TFRs at www.modelaircraft.org, www.faa.gov.
4. Never fly within 5 miles of an airport without first contacting airport authorities.
IMPORTANT
: Please read and understand all safety instructions before flight to help reduce risk
of injury and accidents.
