This is a group for both amateur and professional drone users committed to promoting the use of UAV's and drones for recreational, professional, search and rescue and educational purposes. We are a community of enthusiasts, business owners and professionals who come together to share tips, experiences, knowledge and to fly our aircraft. Our goal is to learn from each other and have some fun while we do it.

Please read our [Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines](https://www.meetup.com/North-Texas-Drone-User-Group/files/) document if you are new to operating drones, it could save your fingers!

To register a drone over 250 grams use the [Drone Zone link](https://faadronezone.faa.gov/#/)

All recreational drone pilots are required to pass the [FAA's TRUST Exam](https://trust.pilotinstitute.com)
Careful using other links as they may charge you extra or attempt to scam you.
