The general concept under pinning all regulatory regimes is that drones have no rights in visual flight conditions. That is they are always required to give way to any manned aircraft under all circumstances. If there is a mid air collision then it is automatically the fault of the drone operator.

Furthermore except for some specific circumstances with specially approved operators, and this will never apply to recreational operators, the drone operator must always maintain maintain sight of the drone. This must be sight with unaided eyesight, not binoculars, first person viewers etc etc.
