So the short answer is, if you have your pilot's license then yes you are usually able to fly in national parks.


This guy is an amateur photographer by hobby. He isn't a pilot.

If the fines and penalties are really that steep, I think you'd be an a-hole NOT to mention it to him.

Then he is definitely breaking the law. If he's aware he's doing so, then I'd say let him go about his business. He's an adult and if he gets caught he'll only have himself to blame.

If he's not aware that he's breaking the law then I don't see the harm in giving the guy a heads up.

Question: Will the [FAA Part 107] rule allow flight in national parks?

Answer: The rule doesn’t restrict flight over national parks. No rules today, but the National Parks Service does not allow landing or taking off from their land. This would be the same as any local entity that have the authority over land use they can decide where you can land and take off. That is not an air space regulatory issue. The FAA doesn’t allow or disallow operations over national parks, but the National Park Service does regulate who does land or take off on their land.
