Procedures I follow when working with drones:

1. To make sure my drone is in good operating order, I always examine it before taking off. 
2. Before flying, I make sure I am familiar with the local airspace policies and limitations.
3. I always keep a safe distance from objects like people, houses, and other aircraft.
4. I always check that I have the required authorisations and insurance before doing any commercial flying operations. 
5. I always maintain control of and visibility over my drone. 
6. I carefully map out my flight paths and have emergency plans in place. 
7. I never fly over restricted property or take photos or videos of people without their permission because of their right to privacy.
8. I always abide by the Civil Aviation Authority's drone flying guidelines and restrictions. 
9. I usually keep an eye on the weather and avoid flying when it's not safe to do so.
10. I keep up with any revisions to the laws and procedures governing the use of drones in the UK.
