Good Afternoon Resident
As the summer is approaching we have started to see an increase of the use of privately owned Drones or Remote Controlled Aircrafts and would like to take this opportunity to remind users/pilots of being responsible and the legislation that covers their use. If you are the operator you must register with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and get an OperatorID if the drone: weighs over 250g or has a camera that can take photos or record video You must clearly display your OperatorID on every drone you own or manage. Anyone flying (piloting) a drone that weighs over 250g must pass a basic test with the CAA to get a FlyerID. They must carry their FlyerID details at all times while flying.
You can find more information on our website: Drones | Hertfordshire Constabulary or more detailed information the the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website: The Drone and Model Aircraft Code | UK Civil Aviation Authority
This summary of the rules applies to most drone flights. But you must make sure you know which category your drone is in and exactly which rules apply. Don’t endanger anyone or anything while flying a drone. You must be able to see the drone (including the space around it) at all times. Don’t fly if you’ve drunk alcohol or taken drugs. Respect other people’s privacy, and know what you can and cannot do with photos and videos. Don’t fly: over crowds (known as ‘assemblies’ in the rules) over 400ft (120m) from the ground in Restricted Airspace, for example near aerodromes, unless you get permission where fire, police or ambulance services are responding to an emergency, unless you get permission Depending on which category of drone you’re flying you may need to stay at least: 50m away from crowds and other people 150m away from built-up areas (towns and cities) | ||||
