WASHINGTON — As the July 4 holiday approaches, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is reminding residents and visitors to Washington, D.C. that the city and surrounding communities are a \u201cNo Drone Zone.\u201d
\nThe prohibition against flying any type of unmanned aircraft, or \u201cdrone,\u201d without specific approval includes the District of Columbia and cities and towns within a 15-mile radius of Ronald-Reagan Washington National Airport.<\/p>\n
The FAA is conducting the \u201cNo Drone Zone\u201d campaign so visitors and residents thoroughly understand that operating an unmanned aircraft in this area for any purpose is against the law.<\/p>\n
The airspace around Washington, D.C. is more restricted than in any other part of the country. Rules put in place after the 9\/11 attacks establish \u201cnational defense airspace\u201d over the area and limit aircraft operations to those with an FAA and Transportation Security Administration authorization. Violators face stiff fines and criminal penalties.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re in the Washington, DC area for the Fourth, enjoy the holiday. But leave your drone at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
