titleDo I need certification to fly a drone?

In the UK current rules state that if you are a farmer and you are operating a drone on your own land, you do not need a license. Though you must operate within the law/flight restrictions and resgister your drone with the CAA → https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/individual .

If you are operating a drone for some kind of commercial gain, and not on your own land, then you will need a commercial certification from the CAA. This requires passing a course. Please talk to our partners at Heliguy for more information.

titleWhat are the flight restrictions?

In the UK:
Most other countries follow similar rules

  • You cannot fly more than 400ft above ground level. With Skippy we only need to fly about 100ft max!

  • You must keep the drone within line of sight, or not more than 500m away. Stick to one field at a time

  • You can’t fly within 50m of a member of the public or property that is not yours.

  • You can’t fly within 150m of a built area. This includes major roads

  • You can’t fly within 5km of a major airport without permission.

The Drone Safe app is great for checking in the UK.
