Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open-air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
By any means drones will affect air traffic, since you can't fly above 400ft
Pardon,
You are quoting Title 14 CFR 91.110, which because of SEC. 336. SPECIAL RULE FOR MODEL AIRCRAFT shown in the post #15 above, does not apply to UAV HOBBYISTS. The intent of any regulation is to ensure HOBBYISTS UAVs do NOT affect air traffic, since the goal of VFR flight is to SEE and AVOID.
This thread is over a year old and as Mark The Droner points out, the FAA continues to modify the airspace requirements and have formalized the Part 107 Remote Pilot certification. In the USA, the FAA mobile app, B4UFLY, provides a great tool to ensure hobbyists flights are conducted with knowledge of airspace restrictions and notification requirements. Mark's post provides excellent guidance for airport/heliport notification. For hobbyists who need to notify an air facility but don't know who to call, the B4UFLY app provides notification details including the Airport Identifier which can be entered into either of these two links to obtain the air facility phone number ->
FAA Airport Data, enter airport identifier and then select CONTACTS...
AirNav Airport Info, enter airport Identifier and then scroll down to Management...
