What is recreational use of drones?
The recreational use of drones is the operation of an unmanned or model aircraft for personal interest and enjoyment.
For example, using a drone to take photographs for your own personal use would be considered recreational. However, using the same device to take photographs or videos for compensation or sale to another individual or entity would be considered a commercial operation or business use.
