‘Know Before You Fly’, An Animation by the FAA About Drone Safety for People Who Receive Unpiloted Aircraft as Gifts

“Know Before You Fly” is an informational animation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about drone safety for people who receive unpiloted aircraft as gifts for the holidays. The video gives operators basic ground rules like keeping the aircraft below 400 feet, away from airports, and within their line of site. The FAA also works in facts like the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza (455 feet) and the weight of the world’s largest bunny rabbit (Ralph, 55 pounds) as references for the regulations.
