USE OF A DRONE

It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of people and other aircraft

1. DO NOT FLY OVER PEOPLE
   When using the drone, make sure you do not endanger nearby people or vehicles. Do not fly over them and maintain a minimum safety distance. Keep well away from groups of people.

2. RESPECT THE MAXIMUM FLYING ALTITUDES
   Always respect the maximum altitudes to limit the risk of a collision between your drone and other aircraft. In all circumstances, stop flying if an aircraft is nearby.

3. NEVER LET THE DRONE OUT OF SIGHT, AND DO NOT USE IT AT NIGHT
   Keep the drone within your field of vision at all times. Immersive flights (FPV) and the use of drones that automatically follow you are possible only under certain conditions, notably in the presence of a second person to ensure your safety.
   Furthermore, in order to ensure the safety of aircraft flying at low altitudes, such as helicopters performing rescue missions, regulations forbid the use of drones at night, even if they are fitted with lights.

4. DO NOT USE THE DRONE ABOVE PUBLIC AREAS
   Flying a small drone over private land in the absence of other people is possible provided you respect the maximum altitude and speed appropriate to the immediate surroundings (building, trees, etc.) and which would minimize risks. In no circumstances can you fly the drone above public areas.

5. DO NOT USE THE DRONE NEAR AIRFIELDS
   Do not use the drone near an airfield where airplanes, helicopters, gliders, microlights, etc. may operate. Minimum safety distances are to be respected, which may reach 10  km in the case of busy airports.

6. DO NOT FLY OVER RESTRICTED SITES
   It is forbidden to fly over some restricted or protected sites, as well as their surrounding areas. These include for example nuclear power stations, military bases, and historical landmarks, as well as nature reserves and national parks. Check if you are in such sites before beginning a flight.

7. RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIVACY, DO NOT BROADCAST IMAGES TAKEN WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THOSE CONCERNED, AND DO  NOT USE THEM FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
   People around the drone must be made aware of what you are doing, especially if the drone is fitted with a camera. Inform those present, answer their questions, and respect their right to privacy. Refrain from recording images that would make it possible to recognize or identify people (faces, number plates, etc.) without their permission.

8. ABOVE A CERTAIN WEIGHT, LEGAL OBLIGATIONS MAY APPLY. SEEK INFORMATION FROM THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES
   For example, this may involve:
   • Registering the drone through the appropriate authorities’ website;
   • Fitting devices to restrict flying altitude, devices to emit an electronic/digital signal, or devices to make their presence known through lights/sounds;
   • Completing an online training course;
   • Registering the drone with the appropriate authorities.

9. CHECK THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH YOU ARE INSURED TO UNDERTAKE THIS ACTIVITY
   You may be held liable in case of damages caused to people, property on the ground, or to other aircraft. Take out a specific insurance policy or check the clauses of your civil liability policy.

10. ASK FOR INFORMATION IF IN DOUBT
    For more information, please check with the local aviation authorities.
    The use of an unmanned aircraft in conditions that do not comply with local regulations may carry the risk of prosecution, substantial fines,s and prison sentences.

FROM JULY 1st 2020
In relation to the introduction of new European regulations, before flying your drone in the single European sky, you are submitted to a registration obligation. You are also submitted to an obligation to follow an online training and to pass the associated theoretical examination. For additional information on the matter, we are inviting you to make contact with your local aviation authorities. In particular, we advise you to keep up to date with the website of the following authority: https://www.easa.europa.eu/easa-and-you /civil-drones-rpas

Australian Government Civil Aviation Safety Authority

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You must only fly during the day and keep your RPA within the visual line of sight. This means being able to see the aircraft with your own eyes (rather than through first-person-view [FPV]) at all times.
If you are in controlled airspace, which covers most Australian cities, you must not fly higher than 120 meters.

You must keep your RPA at least 30 meters away from other people.

You must not fly over populous areas where—if your drone was to fail—it could hit someone. This could include beaches, parks, or sports ovals where there is a game in progress.

You should not fly within 5.5km of an airfield.

It is illegal to fly for money or economic reward unless you have an RPA operator’s certificate, or you are flying an excluded RPA in the sub-2kg or private landholder category.

Remember, you must not operate your RPA in a way that creates a hazard to another aircraft, person, or property.

Respect personal privacy. Don’t record or photograph people without their consent —this may breach state laws.

FURTHER INFORMATION
If you have any questions about flying your RPA recreationally or have other RPA operational inquiries, please contact CASA’s RPAS Office at rpas@casa.gov.au
