The Pennsylvania Drone Association, the Pittsburgh Drone Masters and Allegheny County have collaborated to address Allegheny County Code § 650-2(A), which appears to prohibit the operation of drones in areas not expressly permitted by the county.
While the FAA maintains jurisdiction of the National Air Space at the state level, Pennsylvania prohibits the use of drones in a manner that places another person in reasonable fear of bodily injury or to conduct surveillance of another person in a private place. Further, Pennsylvania law shall preempt and supersede any ordinance, resolution, rule or other enactments of a municipality regulating the ownership or operation of unmanned aircraft.
