There are rules governing the flying of small aircraft such as drones, set down in the UK by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The basic rules are straightforward and easy to follow, most are based on common sense.
The operation of the aircraft must not endanger anyone or anything.
The aircraft must be kept within the visual line of sight of its remote pilot (the ‘person in charge’ of it). Operations beyond these distances must be approved by the CAA (the basic premise being for the operator to prove that he/she can do this safely).
Small unmanned aircraft (irrespective of their mass), if used for surveillance purposes, are subject to tighter restrictions with regard to the minimum distances that you can fly near people or properties that are not under your control. If you wish to fly within these parameters, permission must be sought from the CAA before surveillance is commenced.
CAA permission is also required for all flights that are being conducted for aerial work (i.e. in very simple terms, you are getting paid for doing so).
The 'remote pilot' has the responsibility for satisfying him/herself that the flight can be conducted safely.
The aircraft must not be flown:
over or within 150 metres of any congested area
over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons;
within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft
within 50 metres of any person except during take-off or landing, the aircraft must not be flown within 30 metres of any person except for the person in charge of the aircraft.
Details of UK restricted airspace can be found at www.skydemonlight.com
Careful note should be taken that the collection of images of identifiable individuals, even inadvertently, when using surveillance cameras mounted on a small unmanned surveillance aircraft, will be subject to the Data Protection Act. As this Act contains requirements concerning the collection, storage and use of such images, small unmanned aircraft operators should ensure that they are complying with any such applicable requirements or exemptions.
Further information about the Data Protection Act and the circumstances in which it applies can be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office and website: www.ico.org.uk
British Model Flying Association (BMFA)
The BMFA is the the National Governing Body dedicated to the promotion and protection of the sport of model flying at all levels and they represent the interests of model flying. BMFA membership also provides third party insurance for non commercial flying. The BMFA's page 'Lawful First Person View Flying' provides great guidance on applying FPV in a safe and legal (in the UK) way.
http://www.bmfa.org/Info...ngTypes/FirstPersonView(FPV)/tabid/256/Default.aspx
A full list of Civil Aviation Laws applicable to model flying (Air Navigation Order 2009 articles 138, 166 and 167) can be found on the CAA website: www.caa.co.uk/cap393
Remember that safety is your own responsibility and always take care when piloting the drone.
