I haven't read the proposed regulations, but most likely it is a typo and should be 55 pounds not 0.55 pounds. Because the existing FAA regulations have a lot of things that change at the 55 pound threshold. 0.55 pounds doesn't really make sense, such a light drone can barely fly in modest wind and won't have enough battery life to go very far. Edit: maybe 0.55 pounds is correct. Because that threshold is also used in other FAA UAV regulations. (e.g. UAV less than 0.55 pounds doesn't need to be registered) Edit2: maybe not, see https://www.apnews.com/1c50bdd96d6244198df93d84c86bf156 https://www.apnews.com/1c50bdd96d6244198df93d84c86bf156
