UK drone laws and licensing

[Will Vardy]

Just a quick one for UK pilots.... I'm about to take photos/provide live Facebook feed for a beerfest near me. It's a village thing and I have no interest in charging... Just giving our beerfest the edge this year. Is it legal? I can't seem to find info on needing a licence for non profit commercial use. Any ideas?

If you have permission from the event organisers it is ok to go closer than the 150m rule, but keep to the 30m take off 50m distance rule from any member of the public.

P…

Excellent thankyou. 50m rule? Seems pretty close so I'm happy with that. Cheers
