Can I fly my drone on a mountain?
Can I fly my drone on a mountain? Drones must be flown below 400 feet In the United States and Australia, recreational drones cannot legally be flown higher than 400 feet above ground level. When flying in steep mountainous terrain, you may find yourself following the mountain range up, or flying down below the take-off point.
What happens if I fly my drone higher than 400 feet?
Ultimately, the 400-foot altitude limit was put in place for the sake of airspace safety. The airspace beyond 400 feet is large and the chances of running into another aircraft are astronomically low, but the potential consequence of a drone crashing into a manned aircraft can be disastrous.
