Finding out the particular drone laws where you are or headed when traveling seems like a straightforward task – just do a quick search online and get the list. Right? Well, not all governments make their recreational drone laws easily accessible and even more sites simply have wrong or outdated information.
I know because for over 7 years I and the DroneMate team have been keeping official records of every single recreational drone law in the world. DroneMate is available online, on iOS, and starting today the Premium version has launched for Android.
DroneMate Premium Features
In the biggest update to the Android app since its first release DroneMate Premium now includes 24/7 customer support through the app.
You can now subscribe to any of the comment threads under a country, US state, or local jurisdiction, ask your drone questions and get a prompt reply from one of our drone experts. You can also connect with drone pilots worldwide to share you experiences, find out good flying spots, and discuss the latest drone news.
DroneMate Premium also sends you location based notification of local drone laws and you can opt to receive notifications about drone law changes in countries and localities you choose.
Why DroneMate
I’ve been traveling full time for over 15 years and nearly a decade with a drone. I’ve encountered airport confiscations, confused border officers, and heard many more stories of people facing fines or worse because they didn’t know the rules. DroneMate was created to help drone pilots avoid those situations with accurate information from our local government sources.
Premium users also get help with the forms, contacts, and step-by-step help with any questions you may have. DroneMate is a living app with comments, replies, and traveler communities we’ve put a lot of work into. Download DroneMate for Android and iOS where you can try Premium free for 30 days and let us know what you think.
Happy flying,
