- **Published:** 2015-05-17

The FAA's recently released regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) effectively prohibit long-distance commercial drone delivery. Key rules include a 55-pound weight limit, a 500-foot altitude ceiling, and a strict requirement for the operator to maintain a direct line of sight with the drone. These restrictions suggest that hyped projects like Amazon Prime Air are currently not legally viable in the United States.
