Page 2 goes into part 107, but for Law Enforcement don't the same rules apply if you're recreational?
The FAA controls the sky 1" above grass blades, the Part 107 is of concern to the FAA and how you are flying, not law enforcement...
Am I missing something?

 

[Glenh]

Giovanni can you do a concise summary of the regulations please? Too complex. If I don't understand the reasons for the regulations then I find it difficult to comply. Gracias

Here is a recreational version of the same document.

Unfortunately, That doesn't hold water in the UK and many other places.

Thank you! My son is a police officer and receives no education on drones other than from me. I will forward the documents for his department also...

Depending on your county/laws, you might also have him give out some to the magistrates so they also know what is going on.

I did print it out and read it and find that it is m mainly for 107 pilots. Unfortunately, I am only a recreational pilot and never intend to use my drone for anything else. It would have been nice to have a more concise form with the rules for recreational drones only.

I think this pamphlet is a good little tool. However, it would be fantastic if the FAA would endorse it as their own and put their logo on it to make it OFFICIAL.

I hope to find a Canadian version. This is brilliant. Thanks for posting.

If you google it, you will find in the FAA website (withe their logo) without the 107 mentioning...

Did you not see the FAA logo on the first page of BOTH versions?

Those are FAA LEAP cards and we give them to all LEO when we interact with them.

Well, obviously. It says quite clearly that its FAA Regulations. lol

Thanks. This is GREAT literature to just, "have on hand." +1

Perhaps you can find similar for UK. Or create one?

A bit of free advice from a flight crew member. The reference to 49 USC 46504 specifies assault, intimmidation, or interference by "an individual on an aircraft". In other words, a manned aircraft. It is not relevant to UAS operation.

18 USC 32(a)(5) is more relevant for page 2 of the PDF.

The first part has the two FAA excerpts.
To my mind you're handing a possibly hostile LEO a laundry list of things he can accuse you of and legitimately disrupt your flight. "Sir, we had a report someone was using a drone to look at their swimming pool".

I completely agree. I would not hand this document to any LEO. Why invite trouble?

I do think page 2 is very good however.
