The Federal Aviation Authority's (FAA) draft rules for the use of drones in US airspace do not permit Amazon to launch its Amazon Air delivery service. These rules state that pilots must remain within eyesight of their unmanned crafts, although it said it would consider factoring in a second line of sight in some cases. Pilots must also be FAA certified to operate drones. Amazon said last year that in terms of the technology required for Amazon Air, it was ready to launch as soon as regulations were in place.
