Here are some of the important rules,
- Operations over people are prohibited unless otherwise approved by the Administrator;
- Overflight of power plants is prohibited;
- Overflight of schools during times of operation (e.g., elementary, middle, high, preschool, and daycare facilities) is prohibited;
- Operations over or within 250 ft. laterally of moving vehicles are prohibited unless otherwise approved by the Administrator
- Overflight of any area deemed high risk by the Operator during the flight route design process is prohibited;
- Sustained flight within 250 ft. laterally of roadways is prohibited, and transitions over roadways are prohibited unless otherwise approved by the Administrator;
- The UA must remain at least 100 ft. laterally from any person during all phases of the flight unless otherwise approved by the Administrator.
To be honest, these rules aren’t specifically crafted for drones in the US, but mere exemptions on flying them in urban areas – as imposed by FAA. All these regulations come with a bunch of conditions to be compiled by the companies.
