Totally correct. UK policy is that unless the UAV is operating with a certified "sense and avoid" system, which to the best of my knowledge there are none currently in the UK, the drone (assuming it is 20kg or less) can only operate within visual line of sight of the pilot (not above 400 Ft agl and typically 500m) unless operated within segregated airspace (ie a Prohibited/Restricted or Danger Area). How are Amazon going to resolve this?
