❓ Are there state-specific altitude and distance restrictions for drone flights?

While the FAA maintains a general 400-foot altitude limit, many states have implemented additional restrictions. Common state-specific rules include:

• Lower altitude limits near sensitive areas (hospitals, schools)
• Greater distance requirements from buildings (varies from 25-500 feet)
• Specific restrictions for state parks and wildlife areas

Notable variations include Florida's 400-foot limit over private property without permission, and Nevada's requirement for additional clearance near tourist areas. Always verify local restrictions before flying.
