How to Set Up a Parrot Bebop 2 Drone

As with all Drone flying, please keep the following in mind:

• Make sure you are properly registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, or qualify to fly without registration.
• Make sure you have permission to fly from the person or group that owns the land you'll be over.
• Make sure you are in-touch with the control tower before flying near an airport.
• Make sure there's no obstructions, such as power lines or trees, above your flight area that could cause problems.
• Make sure there's no one below your flight area that could be hurt.
• Make sure you are not near government infrastructure or other sensitive properties.
• Make sure the weather is safe to fly in.
• Make sure you keep your drone in your sight at all times, and get help from an observer if necessary.
