Thanks for the post, it is very useful!
However, a word of caution to readers, the data linked isn't accurate, at least not for my country (Canada);
The site states "Operators must ensure that they follow the following drone laws when flying in Canada if their drone weighs more than 250 grams", and then lists the following restriction:
- Do not fly your drone within 75 meters of buildings, people, or vehicles not associated with the operation of the drone"
This is valid for UAV's OVER 1kg in weight; Transport Canada has a classification for 250g to 1kg, and for that class, Transport Canada's Interim Order No. 9 states the following for the 250g-1kg range:
- A person must not operate a model aircraft having a total weight of more than 250 g (0.55 pounds) but not more than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) at a lateral distance of less than 100 feet (30 m) from vehicles, vessels or any person not associated with the operation of the aircraft
Here is a link to Canada's Interim Order No.9 for reference:

The site also fails to provide a reciprocal link to the original law document from which they pull the data, so a reader cannot easily cross-reference the data.
This is only for Canada, but it leads me to believe similar shortcomings could be present for the other countries listed.
Reader beware! |
