You need permission from the land owner to fly drones!

 

[Pete1774]

Where are you seeing that, because it's not on the CAA website

Wrong!

That's not true either.
You cannot fly drones over land that does not belong to you without permissionI, is a civil matter of tresspass.

No one has brought it to court 'yet' ...

I f that was the case Miki then all the civil and military aircraft that fly over my house on a daily basis are trespassing! However the privacy provisions of the GDPR regulations for drones with cameras are what the sabs are contravening.

Let them fly it. And when they try and follow you and go outside the range of control of his handset/phone.
It might try and return to base, but the chances of it ending up in a tree in the process are reasonably good

Wrong!
I f that was the case Miki then all the civil and military aircraft that fly over my house on a daily basis are trespassing! However the privacy provisions of the GDPR regulations for drones with cameras are what the sabs are contravening.

The Civil Aviation Act 1982 specifically allows civil and military aircraft to fly over your house.
Section #76 Liability of aircraft in respect of trespass, where it is stated that "No action shall lie in respect of trespass".
In other words, the Secretary of State knows these aircraft are tresspassing but you can't do anything about it unless "Where material loss or damage is caused".

That is not the case for drones or trees, cranes, buildings etc.
It is called "oversail".
If you fly a drone over private property, the drone is tresspassing and you (as the operator/flyer) are committing an offence.
In addition to the privacy/GDPR rules.

Under 250g you can pretty much fly wherever you want as long as it isn't restricted airspace and you aren't taking off or landing where you dont have permission.

People seem to be missing out the differences between sub 250g drones and those above that limit.

The Civil Aviation Act 1982 specifically allows civil and military aircraft to fly over your house.

This includes drones, they are pruvate or commercial and fall under the same legislation.

From the CAA

Not according to the CAA.

If you fly a drone over private property, the drone is tresspassing and you (as the operator/flyer) are committing an offence.

You could commit an offense with a drone but you aren't automatically committing one by flying over private property.

You would have to be in contravention of the CAA rules and the 1982 Civil Act.

If you aren't causing a disturbance, you are flying above a private residence at a 'resonable' height, flying within the rules of your drones weight limit then you haven't committed an offense.

My drone actually tells me if I’m in a restricted area….or nearby to one…

Handy, I'm sure you'd check anyway but it's good to have a reminder.

Allegedly they don't fly very well near nuclear submarine bases. I expect that equipment has a restricted customer list though.

I find many of the areas have warnings/restrictions - there is an electric substation a few miles from my house and it comes up as a warning if you go near it (that’s on a DJI Mavic 2 Pro)
