Use of Drones in the City of Chesapeake

By Parks, Recreation and Tourism

December 21, 2015

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, more commonly known as drones, are governed by regulations from the FAA. The FAA, in partnership with the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, has created Know Before You Fly, a website to help drone operators safely use their drones.

It is the responsibility of the user of any drone to comply with all laws and regulations.
