What types of drones can be flown in residential and recreational areas?

Drones heavier than 250g
Drones lighter than 250g
Any model regardless of weight
Drones classified as C3 or C4

The correct answer is: Drones lighter than 250g

The correct choice highlights that drones lighter than 250g are more suitable for residential and recreational areas due to less regulatory burden and a lower risk of injury or damage in case of an accident. Generally, drones under this weight category are classified as "sub-250g" and are often exempt from some of the strict regulations that apply to heavier models, making them more convenient and versatile for personal use. Many local regulations encourage or permit the use of lightweight drones in populated areas because they pose less risk to people and property compared to heavier drones, which have more stringent guidelines regarding where and how they can be operated. Consequently, choosing a drone that is lighter than 250g allows for greater flexibility in terms of where it can be flown.
