FCC Eases Rules for Toy Drones, But DJI Remains on Restricted List
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has removed a narrow category of foreign-made 'toy drones' from its Covered List, marking the first significant exception since sweeping restrictions took effect in 2025. However, the qualifying criteria are extremely strict—devices must be lightweight, GPS-free, offline, camera-free, and limited to 10 minutes of flight time—leaving virtually all mainstream consumer drones, including DJI's smallest models, still subject to the ban.
