In case you’re wondering, no, it’s not okay to fly drones anywhere near Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday.
The Federal Aviation Administration has reminded hobbyists that drones are prohibited from flying within a 30-mile radius of the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, including the National Mall, on the day of the event.
The FAA had already designated Washington, DC as a no-fly zone after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Recently, however, the FAA said it would allow for some drone flights outside the district proper after it created a national drone registration system in Dec. 2015.
