The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a campaign for the safe use of drones over the holiday period.
Called ‘12 Days of Drones’, the campaign will release a specific drone safety topic to educate people about the rules, regulations and best practices of operating a drone.
From December 7-22, 2023, the FAA will share important drone safety information and resources that will help future pilots stay up to date with the latest rules.
The campaign will run each weekday from December 7-22, with each day dedicated to a specific drone safety topic.
