Rules for Drone Use
We follow strict rules when conducting flights, this way we ensure that all Drone operations are conducted in a safe and responsible manner, and everyone’s rights are respected.
Commercial Use: What are the Rules?
There are some basics rules which really are common sense for safety and privacy, such as:
- Maintaining line-of-sight with craft
- Keeping below 120 meters altitude
- Maintaining safe distance of 30 meters from people
- Having relevant permissions
There are also some more involved legal requirements to ensure compliance, these include:
- Pilots have appropriate licenses and certifications
- Flight logs are maintained with required details
- Craft are individually registered with CASA
Recreational Use: Are the Rules Different?
