There are pilots that fly near power lines routinely without issues.
Then there are pilots that find lines on their mission course, and get into trouble.
I, personally, steer clear of them.
I include them as a common denominator to fly-aways...
The conclusions from some recent discussion over on RCG include the precaution to not get under or too close to the sides of power lines.
Issues from flying above seem few.
There is, I've read, a power company or two in CA using UAVs for line and tower inspections.
Maybe a zoom lens could be brought into play... |
