Isn't there an fcc rule about drones needing to be in the line of sight of the operator

    Yes. They are also not allowed to be over people (including traffic) unless it's just to pass over to move to another area with no people (not allowed to continuously pass over people) unless they are below a certain, very low, weight. I think only one drone fits that category last I checked.

    I have my commercial drone license but quit the job that required it so I am a little rusty on the rules
