Drones should be insured by the owner

Do not fly in First Person View (FPV) using your screen without a spotter to follow the drone

  • Operators flying drones equipped with cameras should note that any legal provisions related to domestic peace, privacy, copyright infringement, endangering general safety, and all other relevant guidelines are applicable to this activity.
