DC No Drone Zone
https://www.faa.gov/uas/where_to_fly/no_drone_zone/
The National Capital Region is governed by a Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) within a 30-mile radius of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which restricts all flights in the greater DC area.
The SFRA is divided into a 15-mile radius inner ring and a 30-mile radius outer ring.

  *   Flying an unmanned aircraft within the 15-mile radius inner ring is prohibited without specific FAA authorization.
  *   Flying a UAS for recreational or non-recreational use between 15 and 30 miles from Washington, D.C. is allowed under these operating conditions:
     *   Aircraft must weigh less than 55 lbs. (including any attachments such as a camera)
     *   Aircraft must be registered and marked
     *   Fly below 400 ft.
     *   Fly within visual line-of-sight
     *   Fly in clear weather conditions
     *   Never fly near other aircraft
The airspace around Washington, D.C. is more restricted than in any other part of the country. Rules put in place after the 9/11 attacks establish "national defense airspace" over the area and limit aircraft operations to those with an FAA and Transportation Security Administration authorization. Violators face stiff fines and criminal penalties.

Could you document that 30 mile restriction?

Hi

Just a reminder…

There is a prohibition against flying any type of unmanned aircraft, or “drone,” without specific approval includes the District of Columbia and cities and towns within a 30-mile radius of Ronald-Reagan Washington National Airport.
