Flying your drone safely - CAA
New brochure from CAA: Flying your drone safely
A drone is an aircraft, so if you fly one, you’re a pilot
They’re commonly referred to as drones, but they’re also known as unmanned aircraft or remotely piloted aircraft (RPA).
If you were to carelessly launch a drone from your backyard, there’s a chance that you could be creating a hazard to other aircraft, and people on the ground, as well as breaking aviation law.
Their new brochure includes information on:
- General rules for flying drones
- Training
- Areas where you can and can’t fly drones
- Preflight checklist
