2022 Drone Safety Day is Saturday, June 18

Drones are fastest growing segment of aviation in the United States. As of January, over 860,000 drones have been registered with the FAA, and over 260,000 Remote Pilots have been certified by the FAA. These numbers are projected to continue to grow.

The FAA has organized a National Drone Safety Awareness Week each year from 2019 through 2021. This year, we're evolving our approach with a single day focused on Drone Safety.

Find out how you can get involved, find events or host a Drone Safety Day event.

The safety message for Drone Safety Day 2022 is

Fly RIGHT:

  • Register your drone – DroneZone
  • Interact with others
  • Gain knowledge
  • Have a safety plan
  • TRUST and Train 

Five Focus Areas of Drone Safety Day

  • Education – How to safely operate drones, fostering greater understanding of the commercial and recreational uses of drones, and highlighting how drones are being used in education.
  • Economics – Highlighting the economic, societal, and safety benefits of using drone technologies. For example, using a drone to inspect infrastructure that would be more dangerous for a human to inspect (i.e. bridges, towers, power lines, etc.)
  • Equity – Opening opportunities for all operators. Drones offer an accessible pathway into aviation and provide more opportunities for historically excluded communities to be part of the Aviation community, including a lower cost of entry.
  • Environment – Understanding the environmental and sustainability benefits of drone technologies. From reforestation to monitoring wildlife populations, there are countless ways to engage with our environment using drones.
  • Emergencies – Learn how drones are used in emergency situations such as: natural disasters, search & rescue, firefighting, public safety, and other uses.
