Drones and Low Flying Military Aircraft

By |November 16th, 2018|Categories: News Articles Featured |Tags: |Comments Off on Drones and Low Flying Military Aircraft

Whether you are flying your drone for fun or profit, the need to fly safely and legally is often discussed.  Height limits and airspace restrictions are set out in the Drone Code for all to follow and doing so will help to avoid conflict with manned aircraft and the risks that this poses.  Generally speaking, civilian manned aircraft will operate over the 400 foot ceiling applied to UAV flights and so you would think that observance of these limits would be sufficient to keep the airspace safe for all. However, when carrying out essential training for operations, military aircraft [...]

Drone Flights Indoors – CAA Provide Clarification on Recent Changes

By |October 19th, 2018|Categories: General News |Tags: |Comments Off on Drone Flights Indoors – CAA Provide Clarification on Recent Changes

Indoor Drone FlightsThe recent Air Navigation Law Amendment (The Air Navigation Order 2016 as amended) made several very important changes to the drone legislation, not least of which was the introduction of a single weight class for up to 20kg (rather than the previous 0 – 7kg, 7 – 20kg split).  However, there was one amendment with regard to indoor drone flight that seemed to go largely unreported.Prior to the amendment, it was stated by the CAA that the law applied equally to drone flights taking place indoors or outdoors i.e. there was no distinct difference between the [...]

By |October 8th, 2018|Categories: General News |Tags: |Comments Off on Hiring a Drone Operator – Flying Distances

This is the second part in our series designed to explain some of the basic principles about hiring a drone operator and the standards they have to meet in order to fly safely and legally.  In particular, we’ll be looking at the distances that a drone pilot must keep to as this is something that you’ll often hear talked about and can be a bit confusing. Maximum Height that a Drone Can Fly So a drone may only fly up to 400 feet about the ground, that’s 120 metres.  This is to keep it under the level of most manned aircraft and to minimise the risk of conflict there (although s [...]
