A Freefly Alta 6 drone is flown during an AviSight Drone Academy training class at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Federal Aviation Administration’s new Part 107 regulations to operate small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) or drones, goes into effect today. The new rules will allow operators of commercial drones weighing more than .55lb and less than 55lb to obtain a remote pilot certificate after passing a FAA knowledge exam.
