RC pilots will have to pass an online aeronautical knowledge and safety test and carry proof of test passage. Recreational pilots will be able to get authorization through the FAA's online LAANC system to fly in controlled airspace. Do not fly in controlled airspace around and above airports (Buffalo has a large area of controlled airspace) You must stay below 400 feet when in uncontrolled 'Class G' airspace You can only fly for recreational purposes

You must follow the safety guidelines of a community-based organization like the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)

Outdoor, recreational RC pilots must register with the FAA and put their FAA registration numbers on the outside of their drones, planes and helicopters. The AMA has represented model aircraft builders and fliers since the 1930's. 'Some of these new rules and regulations that are in place are because of a handful of people who are not following the rules,' said Tyler Dobbs, government affairs director for the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). However, problems with some reckless, amateur RC pilots flying drones into buildings, too close to aircraft, or illegally over sporting events has resulted in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enacting new rules for outdoor RC pilots as part of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018.
