UAS/ DRONE RULES FOR FLIGHT
The operator has an affirmative obligation to be aware of, and demonstrate that any use of a drone complies with, applicable federal, state and local laws and ordinances. Much of the City of New Smyrna Beach is in close enough proximity to the New Smyrna Beach Airport that drone usage in much of the City is generally prohibited.
​
All operators must follow Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and notification procedures prior to any operation.

​
NSB Airport is a Participating LAANC Facility
