Do I need to register my Unmanned Aircraft? You need to register your aircraft if it weighs between 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and up to 55 lbs. (25 kg)
You will also need a pre-flight checklist and a copy of the rules: https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/Part_107_Summary.pdf
The App to see if the area you are in is safe to fly: https://www.faa.gov/uas/where_to_fly/b4ufly/
As said above you cannot fly in National Parks but I could not find any mention of this on the FAA website. The National Park service has issued the following linked from this site: Launching, landing, or operating an unmanned aircraft from or on lands and waters administered by the National Park Service within the boundaries of [insert name of park] is prohibited except as approved in writing by the superintendent.
I live in Canada and plan on taking mine to the US when I go on vacation so have pre-registered with the FAA. Costs about $6.50 CDN and you get a certificate emailed to you. Printed it off and will make up a certificate number sticky label to attach to the Mavic.
