The Law and Regulation of Drones | AI lawyer
The increased popularity of Drones for use in business or as a hobby is causing a headache for regulators. Although the Civil Aviation Authority have summarised the rules that need to be followed by anyone using a drone, a close examination of the relevant legislation reveals a potential minefield for anyone who is planning to take up this new activity.
The Civil Aviation Authority have released their ‘Dronecode’ which sets out the following advice:
- Enjoy responsibly.
- Don’t fly near airports and airfields
- Remember to stay below 400ft (120) meters.
- Observe your drone at all times. – stay 150ft (50m) away from people and property
- Never fly near aircraft
