No Drone Zones
I've been fielding questions from family over the last 2 days after the news of the events at Gatwick regarding no fly zones for drones.
Considering that 50% of houses in Sydney are located in a no drone zone, either near the harbour or Sydney airport. Is a kid flying his drone in the front yard at below treetop height an offense?
My take of the regulations is flying a drone even 1cm above the ground if you are in a no fly zone could get you into hot water.
I called CASA, they said they don't know, and someone will call me back. No one ever called.
The local cops believe no fly means, no fly at any altitude, even 1m above the ground, but are not 100% sure. One said he would confiscate any drone until the law is clarified.
