❓ What are the main drone weight classifications and their regulations?

Drone weight classifications are crucial for regulatory compliance. According to the FAA guidelines, drones are classified as:

• Micro drones: Under 250g - minimal regulations, typically no registration required
• Small drones: 250g to 25kg - require registration and pilot certification
• Large drones: Over 25kg - special authorization needed

Each weight class has specific operational limitations and requirements. For example, drones under 250g can typically fly in more locations, while heavier drones face stricter restrictions regarding altitude limits and distance from crowds.
