WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – The Federal Aviation Administration will launch its 12 Days of Drones campaign to educate the public about the rules, regulations and best practices for safely operating a drone.

“If you are considering a drone as a holiday gift, the FAA wants you and your loved ones to understand how to fly it safely,” the US federal agency said in a press release.

This month, the agency will share important drone safety information and resources that will help future pilots – including those who fly for fun – stay up to date with the latest rules. The FAA will post all campaign safety messages to its FAADroneZone?X and “Facebook” accounts throughout the month of December.

The campaign will run every day of the week from December 9 to 24, with each day dedicated to a specific drone safety topic.
