Recreational drone flights anywhere in Gloucester County follow federal FAA rules under 49 U.S.C. 44809: register drones over 250 grams, pass the TRUST test, fly below 400 feet, and keep visual line of sight. New Jersey adds criminal drone limits under N.J.S.A. 2C:40-28.
Neither Gloucester County nor its municipalities regulate the airspace; the FAA does. Under 49 U.S.C. 44809 you may fly for fun without a Part 107 certificate if you register any drone over 250 grams, pass the free TRUST test, keep the aircraft in visual line of sight, stay below 400 feet in uncontrolled Class G airspace, and never interfere with crewed aircraft. Cross Keys Airport in Monroe Township runs active skydiving operations, so pilots must stay well clear of jumpers and traffic there. New Jersey layers on a criminal statute, N.J.S.A.
The FAA enforces the flight rules with civil penalties reaching thousands of dollars for unregistered or unsafe flight. New Jersey police can charge reckless or endangering flight as a disorderly persons offense under N.J.S.A.
