Most of us see consumer level drones with cameras attached as nothing more than a toy like any other remote controlled airplane. We don’t really think about toys or RC planes needing FAA permission to fly, but for some drones in certain locations, that is exactly what you need. To help people wanting to fly their drone to figure out if it’s legal and safe to do so in their area, the FAA has a new app.
The smartphone app is called B4UFLY and it is aimed at answering a basic safety question before the user starts flying their drone. The question that the app aims to answer is if it is safe and legal to fly the unmanned aircraft in a particular location.
