How drones are supporting search and rescue

By |January 5th, 2019|Categories: General |Tags: |Comments Off on How drones are supporting search and rescue

It certainly wouldn’t be unusual to open a newspaper or turn on the TV and hear a bad a news story about a drone. From endangering aircraft to dropping drugs into prison, there seems to be no end of coverage about how UAVs are something to be alarmed about. Of course, if you peek behind the headlines, the vast majority of these problems are caused by pilots flying illegally but it’s not surprising that this does cause problems for safe and legal drone pilots as they go about their business. So it is always good when a positive story comes across the DSR news desk and we’re plea [...]

Working with the RAF and Low Flying Requirements

By |December 26th, 2018|Categories: General |Tags: |Comments Off on Working with the RAF and Low Flying Requirements

Flying near RAF spaceThe military carry out essential training exercises at low altitudes and these flights are not limited to specific geographical zones and timetables. They can occur anywhere in the UK, at any time of the day or night and can be under 400 feet or even as low as the ground in the case of helicopters taking off and landing.So these flights mean that all drone pilots will potentially be sharing the airspace.  This applies to commercial pilots of course but also to hobbyists – we all need to play our part in reporting flights and staying alert to the presence o [...]
