Drone strike

[Heinrich Dorfmann]

The CAA
don’t seem to be taking this threat seriously; the only rule for a
drone
operator seems to be that he must keep the machine below 400ft (is

that above ground level or sea level?)

No there are more rules, see ANO166 plus exemption E4049 and ANO 167. Alsosee CAP658 and CAP722. Height is defined as height above point of launch.

Yunecc's
video link is reported to
be only 500m line of sight were as DJi can go for
a few km

To achieve this range would require a video transmitter illegal in the UK(OFCOM IR 2030). To fly beyond visual range would be illegal in the UK(ANO166).
