in today's video we're gonna be talking about drone rules and regulations here
in Australia so stay tuned hey what's up everyone its Dennis here back with
another video for those of you who are new here my channel is all about drone
product reviews and she told videos so if that's something that you're
interested in do remember to subscribe to my channel and turn on that
notification button so that you don't miss out on any of my new videos every
week now that's out of the way let's get started first things first if you're not
familiar with the drone rules laws and regulations here in Australia please
please PLEASE familiarize yourself head over to the castle website Castle stands
for Civil Aviation Safety Authority it's a government body that regulates
Australian aviation safety they licensed pilots the register aircraft and they
also promote and oversee aerial safety but they're the ones who sign up on my
certification and drone pilot license so they're very very important check the
links down below educate yourself with the drone rules and regulations as they
get updated from time to time but to give you a quick rundown on how the
rules operate here in Australia especially if you're planning to visit
and fly your drone here in Australia I'll cover the basic ones are they're
very straightforward and pretty much common sense firstly you're only allowed
to fly your drone during the day and in visual line of sight this means being
able to see your drone with your own eye and not using a device or a monitor next
one is you must not fly a drone over 120 meters or 400 feet above the ground so
you must keep your drones at least 30 meters away from other people so
remember don't fly your drone near people and also you know it's for safety
reasons as well those propellers they can hurt people next one is pretty
important never fly your drone on an area affecting Public Safety or where
emergency operations are underway some of the scenarios that that falls into
this is like car accidents or police operations or if there's a fire that's
happening next one's kind of self-explanatory you must not fly your
drone over above people this includes Beach
parks events or other sporting activities where a game is in progress
remember do not operate your drone in a way that's gonna create a hazard to
another person to another aircraft or to to a private property and also respect
the privacy of other people do not simply take a photo of someone or take a
video of someone without their consent look I just simply covered the bare
basic ones again do remember to check the website I'll drop the links down
below so you can have a look next bit it's about drone registrations and
accreditation requirements NASA is planning to introduce a mandatory drone
registration and accreditation scheme later this year but this has yet to be
finalized earlier this year Casa has actually consulted with the local you
know drone communities here in Australia who is seeking feedback and proposal
ideas on what could be the drone registration / throne a consultation
requirements that could apply for someone with a drone I definitely really
some my feedback and also completed this survey so and some of the key proposals
that they put out in there are drone flies who are under 16 years of age will
need to be accompanied by someone who's 18 years or older who is accredited the
drone accreditation will be like an online education course where and you
get to know the rules it's like watching a couple videos here
in there and also completing a quiz registration for a recreational drone
flier will be about 20 dollars for commercial fliers the drone registration
will be between one hundred two hundred sixty dollars per drone cazza is it the
determine if you can register early or if there will be any leeway around the
time of registration manatees sentiment here is both positive and negative
there's a lot to take in and there's a lot of things that needs to be
considered some groups have expressed the dislike for drone registration
because you know you are paying money for it but what did they actually get
out of it you know what's the value for them you know you're paying twenty
dollars but what does that twenty dollars do so why can't we custom-make
the drone your registration free for recreational users also questions
surrounding how often do you renew is it a one-off payment where you know it's
gonna be evergreen or do you renew you know once a year or every three years
some groups actually like the idea of drone registration because it will
enforce everyone with a drone to sign up also learn the rules and be accredited
it's been a couple of near misses incidents here in Australia so you know
people flying a prohibited area or restricted area it'll be interesting on
what's gonna happen the next step again cazza hasn't updated the where their
webs are on what's the way for they've just been discussing about this they've
consulted with people pulling the next couple of weeks or months they will shed
more light on what they're planning to do so yeah again I will drop the link
down below and familiarize yourself with the drone rules registration
accreditation and what sort of changes that will be coming in the near future
anyways hopefully that shed a little bit of light on the drone rules and
regulations here in Australia if you do have any questions feel free to comment
down below and I'll try to answer that and yeah look that's really it for me
