Fireworks, Drones and Airplanes Don’t Mix
The FAA has sent out a service reminder to everyone in the drone community this 4th of July celebration. As people travel, purchase fireworks and fly drones over the Independence Day holiday, the FAA reminds them to know and follow the aviation safety rules.
Here are general guidelines for people flying drones:
- Don’t fly your drone in or near fireworks
- Don’t fly over people
- Don’t fly near airports
There are also strict rules prohibiting airline passengers from packing or carrying fireworks on domestic or international flights. Remember these simple rules:
- Don’t pack fireworks in your carry-on bags
- Don’t pack fireworks in your checked luggage
- Don’t send fireworks through the mail or parcel services
Passengers violating the rules can face fines or criminal prosecution. When in Doubt…Leave it out!

I am registered with an older drone that doesn’t expire until next year from an older Drone. I have a new Drone, can I use the same numbers until expiration?
If your drone was registered as hobbyist, non-commercial then you may mark your new drone with the same registration number.
