Right from the start we took part in Drone flying training and have flown with the correct documents. Operating drones commercially requires a license. This means that we follow strict safety guidelines and hold all the necessary insurance policies. We are “legally” allowed to fly drones and film but always within certain limits. Unfortunately, we have all seen headlines about flying drones having near misses with aircraft. These incidents happen as a result of those flying not having the correct training to operate the drones. The new drone legislation tackles that.
New Legislation
So we welcome new legislation that governs all unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) users. The update recognises the growth in the number of people flying an aircraft. Now all aerial vehicle users must fly below 400ft and away from airports. There are also rules for flying in busy areas, close to people and vehicles. We suspect further laws will come into effect in the coming months so that all drones are registered and pilots are fit to fly.
