Recreational drone flights follow federal FAA rules under 49 U.S.C. §44809: register drones over 250 grams, pass the TRUST test, stay below 400 feet, keep visual line of sight. Tennessee bans drone surveillance of private property under Tenn. Code Ann. §39-13-903.
Neither Williamson County nor its cities regulate the airspace; the FAA does. Flying for fun, you must register any drone over 250 grams, pass the free TRUST test, keep visual line of sight, and stay below 400 feet. Tennessee adds a criminal layer: Tenn. Code Ann. §39-13-903 makes it an offense to use a drone to capture images of a person or privately owned property with intent to surveil. County and city parks may bar launching and landing on their grounds, and much of northern Williamson County sits under Nashville-area controlled airspace requiring LAANC authorization.
The FAA enforces flight rules with civil penalties reaching thousands of dollars for unregistered or unsafe flight. Tennessee can charge unlawful drone surveillance under §39-13-903 as a criminal offense, and parks can cite launching on their land.
