What is the maximum altitude a drone can operate without specific airspace authorization?

  1. 200 feet

  2. 400 feet

  3. 600 feet

  4. 1,000 feet

The correct answer is: 400 feet

The maximum altitude a drone can operate without specific airspace authorization is 400 feet above ground level. This altitude limit is established by the FAA to ensure safe operation of drones in the national airspace. By restricting drones to this height, particularly in uncontrolled airspace, it helps avoid conflicts with manned aircraft, which generally operate at higher altitudes. This 400 feet limit is crucial for maintaining a safe operational environment, allowing drone pilots to fly within visual line of sight while minimizing the risk of accidents with other air traffic. Operations above this altitude would require special authorization, such as a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) or airspace authorization through the LAANC system, highlighting the importance of adhering to regulatory requirements for safe drone operation.
