rules

Hi fellow pilots, I am visiting Brazil soon, spending time in Rio de Janeiro and Ilha Grande (an island near Rio). Still debating with myself whether to take my MP with me, as I've read online that there are some restrictions and you can't just fly anywhere, anytime. Add to this all the...

25th Feb 2019 new USA FAA rule about label location $27500.00 max fine if not displayed... do you think they'll make an example of someone?

Hello, I'm planning a trip to Israel in February. I read you need 2 permissions. Does anyone had experience with flying drone in Israel and getting the permissions? Any help would be great.

If you haven't already, take the time to go through the UK Drone public consultation.. so many elements that will effect flying UAV in the UK. Part 1.

Hi, A question for you as I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Is it possible to fly a UAV (less than 1kg) commercially (pilot certified) under the SFOC exemption in a Class D airspace (SFC - 3000ft). I read somewhere that you could fly under 30m in those area but can't find it anymore...

So recently I have heard that drone users are allowed to fly over 400 feet AGL if they are flying within 400 feet of a large structure. (Ex. A user can fly 400 feet over a 300-foot water tower for a total AGL measurement of 700). I was wondering two things: 1) Is this information true? 2) If...

Fairly sure I'm safe here, but it's an interesting situation. I am not commercially licensed, and do not take photos/video with the intent that they be used commercially. I took this photo in Edinburgh (United Kingdom) - Colin Burn-Murdoch on Instagram: “More #hdr #drone photos of #edinburgh”...

Hey guys! In September/Oktober I’m going on a trip, visiting Thailand but also Laos and Vietnam. I’ve checked the rules for flying in Laos and Vietnam and that doesn’t worry me at all. But I still need to bring my Mavic Air and I’m worried bringing it with me in Thailand without any...

I wonder how much time the average Mavic owners spent reading on line and watching videos about this cool machine before they purchased. I also wonder how much time the same people spent researching the laws that apply to us as hobbyist Mavic pilots. I am astounded by the number of posts...

Hey guys! I will be in Strasbourg for the next weekend and I would like to get information about flying my Mavic Pro there! I will appreciate if you give me your information about this topic!

I've just returned from my trip to Ecuador. We flew into Quito and then on to Puerto Ayora to catch the Celebrity Cruise Ship Xploration, a 90' Catamaran with 8 staterooms. I did a lot of research about bringing my Mavic into Ecuador and was worried I'd be extorted for a large import fee...

I am looking for reliable, complete, and up-to-date information on drone regulations in Germany, as well as practical advice on flying there. There are several web pages and forum posts on this topic, but most seem incomplete, or they do not fully agree with each other. I do not speak German...

I am a newbie here, and I have been diligently searching for a good explanation of the rules. I see a lot of questionable videos with comments from people as to the legality of the operation. They all state what the rules are, or are not. Often vehemently. But many times they contradict each...

Hi folks, This thread is mainly for Australian forum members. I recently bought a Mavic Pro and wanted to ensure I fly within Australian laws. I asked CASA about flying over private property as this is ambiguous to me. This is CASA's response. ------------- ---------------- I wanted more...

You know I love self-promoting guys. ;) But it's valuable stuff. Check it out.

I am using Airmap to tell me what the restrictions are around places I intend to fly. However I still have a few question on the use of this app. I am going to throw out a few understandings .. if any of it is wrong, someone please correct me. First.. I fly for fun. Not a commercial flyer. So...

I'm travelling there next month and I started looking at regulations in September. I looked here mostly: Drone Laws By Country – UAV Systems International But some of the email addresses are outdated so I had to gather some from other sources. The countries will be Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam...

https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-opssvs/Flying_for_fun_EN-V6.pdf Transport Canada is relaxing its restrictions on recreational drone users -- eliminating rules for pilots on how close they can fly the devices around animals, buildings, and other structures. The updated safety measures...

Not sure if this has been picked up elsewhere but I noticed today that there have been some some subtle but significant changes to the Canadian drone rules. Here's the 'new' version... (bold by me) • within 90 m above the ground or lower • at least 30 m away from vehicles, vessels, and the...

I'm off to Fuerteventura next week and would like to use my Mavic... Anybody know where I can see the laws/ rules for flying there? I know it's part of Spain and they have pretty tight laws against drones but I don't know what the rules would be on an island off of the main land.
