On September 25, 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) granted applications by numerous companies for permission to use Unmanned Aerial Systems (“UAS”) – more commonly known as drones – for film production on movie sets. This long-awaited move clears the way for filmmakers and others to use these low-cost filmmaking tools. However, a close reading of the FAA decisions reveals a number of restrictions on UAS.
