FAA Implements New Recreational Drone Rules
Recreational drones will be allowed to fly in controlled airspace at fixed sites.

The FAA is implementing for recreational drone fliers new restrictions prescribed by Congress in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, the agency announced. The major change is that recreational fliers now must obtain prior authorization from the FAA, rather than local air traffic control facilities, before flying in controlled airspace around airports and must comply with all airspace restrictions no matter where they are flying.
