❓ What are the different altitude restrictions by state?

While the FAA sets a general maximum altitude of 400 feet AGL (Above Ground Level), some states have additional restrictions:

  • Urban areas: Some states limit drone flights to 200 feet in populated areas
  • Special zones: Areas near airports or government facilities may have lower limits
  • Temporary restrictions: States may impose additional height limits during events or emergencies

Always check both federal and state regulations before flying. For example, Nevada has special altitude restrictions around wildlife areas during certain seasons. Use the B4UFLY app to check current restrictions in your area.
