I have been told by a council ranger I couldn't fly over council property (accused me of flying over people on the beach). Have been questioned by general public about legality and issues in certain locations. Stay out if NFZ and try not to get undue attention and all will be good.Just wondering if any Aussies have been busted using a drone where they shouldn't be, or anyone for that matter, obviously there is various rules for every part of the world. Just who is the drone police?
Very Small RPAs (under 2 kg) – Regulations effective 29th September 2016
The Federal Government has recently passed legislation which will allow a person to operate a very small RPA (that is, one weighing less than 2 kg) without certification, if it is being operated in standard RPA operating conditions. This will be known as an excluded aircraft.
Standard RPA operating conditions means that the RPA must be operated:
within visual line of sight
below 400 ft AGL
during the day
more than 30 m away from anyone who is not directly associated with the operation (people being filmed are not considered to be directly associated with the RPA’s operation)
I'm safe although who's doing the judging on 400 feet? I'm sure if the authority's turned up you'd be hitting the stick down pretty quick.
I have my max set at 120m (400 ft)
That's boring though everyone wants to fly out of sight.....don't they? Lol

Similar to the places I fly except i have limestone cliffs along the coast and I share it with snakes and bugs. I'll post up some footage when I get home, no need to register with CASA at the moment due to flying as a pastime but that could change if the idiots persist. Plan on flying to an island just off the coast after I finish the mods to my P4.
