The following eight requirements are from the FAA Advisory Circular released on May 31st, 2019.

• Fly within the visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft or a visual observer co-located and in direct communication with the operator.

• Use the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) system when flying in controlled airspace.

• Operate the aircraft in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any crewed aircraft.

• Stay below 400 feet above ground level (AGL).
