Be familiar with all the laws in Alaska before you take off with your camera drone.  These laws are created by Federal, State, and local government agencies for the protection of the public.


Federal Laws For Drone Use In Alaska

The federal government created the drone laws, which apply to all states in the U.S.A, including Alaska.

You must be a commercial pilot to fly a drone in Alaska. In addition, for work/business purposes, you must follow the FAA’s Part 107 Small UAS Rule. Part 107 includes passing the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test to receive a Remote Pilot Certificate.

Alaska allows hobbyists to fly drones. However, the FAA requires you to pass the Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) to fly drones for pleasure or fun. The FAA also requires you to adhere to the rules for recreational model aircraft. In addition, you will need to pay $5 to register your drone if it weighs in at more than 0.55 lbs (250g). Additional rules apply to altitude and airspace, as well as keeping your drone in line of sight while you fly.

1. Bear Viewing Tour

More than 50,000 black bears and 35,000 brown bears live in Alaska's untamed wilderness: they are slowly moving through berry-covered hills, raising their young and slapping in salmon-choked rivers. However, unlike moose, you likely won't casually encounter bears along most streets. It would help if you went searching.
​
That's one reason bear-viewing tours are some of the pricier trips you can take in Alaska. Most tour operators access bears' prime places using a bit of airplane, though some tours will take you on a ship. However, it's completely worth the cost --these are just about the best wildlife viewing experiences you can have.​

Travelers Are Welcome in Alaska This Summer

A few weeks into new traveling mandates from the municipality and the state, more than 2000 people have gone to Alaska from other states, according to the Department of Social and Health Services. Some of those arriving were aware of testing requirements, while others got a bit of a surprise stepping off the plane.

Passengers said it was somewhat disorganized. Some were surprised that they did not give them any information ahead of time of what was going to happen. ​The mandates wants passengers entering Alaska to fill out a travel declaration form, stating whether they've been coronavirus tested before traveling.
​
For those who were aware ahead of time and came from a place with access to testing, that was no issue. Some passengers were lucky enough to be coming from Michigan, where they have a drive-through COVID tests, and got their results and had it filled out. So they were able to walk right through.

Those who have not been tested need to be screened at the airport or move to a 14-day quarantine. For many coming to visit Alaska, that 14 days could put a halt to the vacation, but it was not much of a problem for many others. Some people are currently going out to remote areas anyways, with only a few people out there, which makes it the ideal place to self-quarantine.
