How high and far can I fly my drone?

All drone flights are limited to no higher than 400 feet, without a waiver to fly higher granted by the FAA, when flying in Class G airspace and must remain within line of sight of the pilot. 

When flying within 5 miles of an airport, (Class B, C, D and E airspace), the FAA requires the pilot to obtain airspace authorization and limits the maximum height a drone can be flown without a waiver.
