A lot of drone owners do not know the rules you MUST know before flying a drone. If you break these rules you may find yourself in a bit of trouble.

The reason for not many people knowing the rules is because people are not doing enough to get the rules out there. If you purchase a drone kit to build yourself you will not receive any information about the rules. If your lucky you may get a small piece of paper stating a small amount of the rules on how and where you can fly your drone.

Now for the rules. The rules are still evolving and could get strict or a bit more leaneant depending on how the future of accidents go involving drones. At the moment..

• you can fly a drone if it us under 20kg and not used for commercial reasons..
• You can not fly it within 150 metres of a congested area and 50 meters from a person, vehicle or structure that is not under control of the pilot..
• You cannot fly your drone out of sight, meaning you cannot go above 400 feet in altitude or any more than 500 meters horizontally. If it is a wish for you to exceed these limits you will need to get explicit permission for the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority)..

There are many other risks apposed by drones for example privacy which is now becoming a further issue.. Some people have been fined £800 and been made to pay £3500 at the magistrate court after being prosecuted by the CAA for flying a drone within 50 meters of the jubilee Bridge.
