BBC News and UAV footage

Looks like the national broadcaster is prepared to lower its standards completely and accept dodgy aerial shots from model aircraft.

This is "aerial work" isn't it"

There were plans by the Police to deploy camera drones in the Liverpool area. It was postulated they would become the targets for a new form of urban skeet shooting

If I am not mistaken, there is a wonderful irony in the OP of this thread complaining about being undercut by "inferior" aircraft, and wanting the CAA to investigate.

Sorry to ask and perhaps I should know, but how big does a flying vehicle have to be before The CAA is involved ????

I don't think that using footage sent in by a viewer can be classified as aerial work!! No different to using clips off Utube!

Hughes500; 7kgs I believe and then it depends what you want to do with it.

There are also rules on how close you can fly RC aircraft to things etc but Im not an expert on these things.

Not 7kgs any more. In the UK you need a CAA permission for any aerial work done with a radio controlled model for valuable consideration.

It may not get earn 'production of the year' award, but it does its job perfectly well. Expect a lot more of this.

Key words being "for valuable consideration". It appears this video was shot by a hobbyist who received nothing for it.

I know a fellow who has built his own UAV as a hobby. Amazing quality video (see it here
).
