Drone safety is all about how well do you know your drone?
Australia's recreational drone safety rules are designed to keep you and others safe, on the ground and in the air. There are real consequences if you cause damage to property or people. Here are the rules you need to know now, before you take off.
You must not fly your drone higher than 120 m above ground level.
You must keep your drone at least 30 m away from other people and never fly over another person.
You must only fly one drone at a time.
Only fly during daylight hours.
You must not fly in a populous area. This includes beaches, parks, events, or sport ovals during games.
You must not fly your drone in a way that creates a hazard to others
Keep your drone within visual line-of-sight. This means you must always be able to see it with your own eyes (not through a device, screen or goggles). Don’t fly through cloud, fog or smoke.
You must not fly your drone over or near areas affecting public safety or where emergency operations are underway.
Stay clear of the runway approach and departure paths.
Use a drone safety app to find out where you can and can’t fly.
If you’re within 1.4 km of a helicopter landing site and become aware of a helicopter nearby, taking off or landing, you must move your drone away and land it safely.
If you fly your drone for work (commercially), extra rules apply. You must register your drone and get a licence or accreditation.
Near smaller airports without control towers, you can fly your drone within 5.5 km. If you become aware of crewed aircraft nearby, move away and land your drone quickly and safely.
