Do not fly over crowds of people
Always fly below the altitude of 150 m
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
Check the Local Aviation Authority's Website and review all necessary rules and regulations before flying
Steps to follow as a new drone pilot
- Do not photograph sensitive areas or military facilities/property.
- 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.
- Operators under 18 years old should not fly drones unsupervised.
Read the local regulations and consult authorities if necessary before flying your drone.
