We have a law about flying. Will consider again on 4 July 2017. On the registration of drones from 0.25 to 30 kg. What will be there I don't know.
Fly everywhere except center. There?
There is the drone code here, eg. keep drone in sight, below 120m height, 50m from people/property, 150m from built up areas and no over flying built up areas.
Thinking about the risks outside the code is also good I believe. I cannot speak for anyone else, however I'd rather not have the death of child on my conscience from my drone falling from high attitude or hitting a fast moving car and causing an accident. Flying a drone is a big responsibility when you start to think about all the "what ifs" that could happen, a bit like driving a car. You're never going to remove all the risks, however I believe every drone pilot can minimise them. For example, wait for a gap in traffic when flying over a road if you need to go over one, avoid hovering over or near a busy road and groups people. Pick a time of time when its quiet. Good practice will allow us to continue our enjoyment, rather than laws being created to stop it.
I actually think the registration of drones is probably a good thing. In the UK it is a criminal offence to fly a drone for work without permission from the CAA. So I am thinking of getting my PFAW (license) soon. I fear the laws are going to get even tighter when one of these near misses being reported more frequently each month here, becomes an actual fatal accident. I hope it never happens, I really do for all us dronaddicts.
Anyway.. enjoy it while we can.. :-) again, thanks for sharing.
