I have traveled domestically throughout the United States and internationally through London, Greece, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands with my drone and never been questioned, stopped, or had any sort of inspection. That said, I do keep everything in my carry on bag, I try to remember to discharge batteries but know I have had them fully charged on several occasions and even used them to charge my phone with the usb adapter. I don't really understand why anyone would not want to register with the FAA, it's like $5 and the test is good common sense stuff, even if it isn't required, just go ahead and register so you have a number for your next upgrade to a bigger drone!
Transport of a drone inside an aircraft is part of the airline policy not airport or country. I work for an airline and my airline doesn't allow drones on carry on luggage. Only in checcked luggage without batteries that have to be carried abord in carry on luggage.
(see information on airline web page below).
Allowance must be checked prior to travel. I travel a lot and never saw airline staff inspecting carry on luggage other than for size. But if they see that is a drone, they will deny boarding or leave the drone behind. |
