Can you fly there?
Despite the popularity of drones and their affordability, many people in the community are not aware that there are laws around drone use - even if it's just for fun and not a commercial activity.
For instance, there are large exclusion zones around airports. It is an offence to operate an unmanned aircraft (ithis includes drones) in a way that creates a hazard to another aircraft, another person or property.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) have produced an easy-to-use smartphone app illustrating where you’re not allowed to fly. Download and use the app to help you fly your drone safely.
