Be careful out there

Drone pilots: Always check airspace restrictions before you fly. The FAA is stepping up enforcement to keep our skies safe. Just recently, we worked with local law enforcement to fine a drone pilot for flying over Coachella , a designated no drone zone. Violating a Temporary Flight Restriction or regulation may result in fines, penalties, and certification revocation. Know before you fly:

The Drone Expedited and Targeted Enforcement Response (DETER) program supports President Trump’s Executive Order on Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty, which calls for stronger enforcement of drone laws to protect the safety and security of the U.S. airspace.

The program will support enhanced enforcement efforts around high-visibility events, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup matches from June 12 to July 19.

Under the DETER program:

Eligible first-time operators may resolve cases through reduced civil penalties or certificate suspensions.
Participants must admit liability and waive their right to appeal to receive expedited resolution.
Law enforcement partners will be able to notify the FAA of drone violations in real time.
The program is limited to less serious operational violations and will be implemented in select locations and timeframes.
The FAA will continue to handle violations involving significant safety risks, including unauthorized operations in restricted airspace, through standard enforcement procedures. These violations are not eligible for expedited resolution.
