Umm, No.Wouldn't these two restrictions make flying nearly impossible?
No flying:
- farther than 300m from the operator
- within 120m of any person, vessel or structure not under the operator’s control

TBH FotoGeek it's something I'll have to educate myself on, even though public / state land different bodies have controlling interests & rules governing what & what can't be done within the array of different types of land designated state / publicly owned@Ptr I would assume 'land owner' means private land owner. At least that would be the US interpretation as all state, city, county land is owned by the public (with some exceptions).
Seems kinda funny that you have to register them on the same day as us, and your government justifies it the same way, safety and education. I don't know for a fact, but I bet the greenest newbie on this sight knows more about drones than anybody in either of our governments.
That doesn't make it any less peculiar that on the same day we must register, and they're explanation of implementation is exactly the same. And I know how much we use them. Just look on yt at all the videos of drone pilots complaining about having to kill people....but they still did it.
And it appears they have more restrictions than we do.
Really? In what way?
The new legislation prohibits users from operating their drones in an unsafe manner. This includes never operating a drone:
The highlighted bullet points are the only current laws regarding drones we have in the USA.
- if it will be a hazard to another aircraft in flight
- over an assembly of people
- farther than 300m from the operator
- within 120m of any person, vessel or structure not under the operator’s control
- closer than 5km from an aerodrome
- in a negligent or reckless manner so as to endanger life or property of others
- over 400ft (120m) above ground level
- over urban areas
- in civil or military controlled airspace
- in restricted areas (e.g. military installations, prisons, etc.)
- unless the operator has permission from the landowner for takeoff and landing.
I have no idea what the laws are in the UK, I am in the US. You are welcome to research our laws here and compare them to Ireland's. My knowledge of any laws outside of the US is limited to the list I posted.Are you sure about that?!! They look pretty standard to me… Though I haven't reviewed the laws in UK. I believe the above laws are Ireland, not necessarily for England Scotland and Wales
