Recreational drone operation in Ocoee is governed primarily by FAA Part 107 and the FAA Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST). Florida preempts most local drone rules under FL §934.50 and §330.41, but Ocoee restricts drone launch/landing from city parks without permission.
Under FL §330.41 (Drone Preemption Act, 2017), local governments cannot regulate drone operations except for launch/land on public property they own. Ocoee City Code Chapter 107 prohibits launching or landing drones from city parks without a Parks and Recreation permit. All operators must comply with FAA rules: under 400 feet AGL, visual line of sight, no flights over people, and avoid restricted airspace (Orlando Class B veil may affect portions of the city).
Park launch/land without permit: 50-250 dollar citation. FAA violations: up to 27,500 dollar civil penalty. Privacy violations under FL §934.50: civil damages.
