Know Before you fly Program
Know Before You Fly is an education campaign founded by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International
(AUVSI) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to educate
prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
As excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow around UAS, and the regulatory framework continues to take shape,
more consumers are looking to buy UAS for personal use and more businesses are looking to use UAS too.
These prospective operators want to fly, and fly safely, but many don’t realize that, just because youcan buy a UAS,
doesn’t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. Know Before You Fly provides prospective users
with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly.
