Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or “drones”, have become a popular tool in many different arenas, from aerial photography to functioning as reconnaissance aircraft in disaster areas.  The Federal Aviation Administration requires individuals that operate a drone to register their unmanned aircraft, and to notify the airport operator if flying within five miles of an airport.  It is important to understand that once a drone leaves the ground, it’s entering airspace often occupied by other aircraft, and there are several rules that must be followed for the safety of all.
