The Feds Just Put the US Back in the Global Drone Race Wired

Operators must keep their drones within their visual line of sight, must only fly in daylight (unless the aircraft has anti-collision lights), and can’t fly faster than 100 mph, or above 400 feet (with a few exceptions).

The FAA will now require drone operators to get a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating, or fly under direct supervision by someone with such a certificate.

There's still work to do though. As the article mentions, the rules don't cover recreational use, privacy or intrusion issues.

So, for the time being, I can keep kamikaze-diving my neighbor's cat without a pilot's license.
