AUSTRALIAN drone pilots will be forced to pass a quiz before taking to the skies under a new initiative launched by the world’s largest drone maker tomorrow.

The mandatory exam, created by DJI in conjunction with Australia’s Civil Aviation and Safety Authority, will automatically appear in the app used to fly its drones and follows a risky year for Australian drone users in which 32 were issued fines and “hundreds” received written safety notices for flying the devices in a dangerous manner.

Obv a copy of the FAA/DJI American one.

Good on DJI by being proactive in this space.

It wont stop the idiots but maybe the young punks that fly wherever they feel like it will have to look up the basic rules as I image thats what it will be. No higher that 120mtrs. No fly within 30 mtrs of people. No fly over people etc etc. I hope we dont have to do this for every flight ??
