Can I carry Unmanned Aircraft Systems (commonly known as drones) containing rechargeable lithium batteries in my baggage?
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) containing rechargeable lithium batteries (not exceeding 100 watt-hour capacity each) may be carried in your baggage.
If the batteries are installed in the UAS, they may be carried in both checked or hand-carry baggage. However, if the batteries are removed, or if you intend to carry spare batteries, such batteries must be carried in hand-carry baggage only.
Spare batteries must also be individually protected by insulating terminals to prevent short circuits, e.g. by taping over exposed terminals or placing each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch.
