The FAA's new regulations for the commercial use of drones start today.

Here are some of the basic rules:

You can't fly over 400 feet and the drone has to remain in the operator's line of sight.

You can fly only during the day, unless the drone has anti-collision lights.

And you can't fly over anyone who isn't directly involved with the operation.

But,you no longer need a pilot's license to fly a commercial drone.

You just have to be over the age of sixteen and pass an FAA test.
