Nearly lost my P3A

Thanks pharm. That makes so much sense. I turned on the drone at home and switched modes earlier on for it to say F-GPS. I feel such a doughnut for not doing that right At the start lol

You're welcome. Also, the mode without GPS is "A" mode, aka "Atti" mode.
 
You can find details about CAA Permissions here: Unmanned Aircraft | UK Civil Aviation Authority

To give you a quick run-down, Article 95 - small unmanned surveillance aircraft

(1) The person in charge of a small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not fly the
aircraft in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (2) except in
accordance with a permission issued by the CAA.

(2) The circumstances referred to in paragraph (1) are:

(a) over or within 150 metres of any congested area;

(b) over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than
1,000 persons;

(c) within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the
control of the person in charge of the aircraft;
or
(d) subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), within 50 metres of any person.

(3) Subject to paragraph (4), during take-off or landing, a small unmanned
surveillance aircraft must not be flown within 30 metres of any person.

(4) Paragraphs (2)(d) and (3) do not apply to the person in charge of the small
unmanned surveillance aircraft or a person under the control of the person in
charge of the aircraft.

(5) In this article 'a small unmanned surveillance aircraft' means a small unmanned
aircraft which is equipped to undertake any form of surveillance or data
acquisition.


All you're going to do is screw up the hobby for the rest of us.
 
I understand what you mean, but here in London the rules are quite relaxed regarding flying over buildings. If it isn't a specialised building such as the MI5, Buckingham palace, houses of parliament, London dome etc. .. Then it will be ok as long as the drone is not to close to the building to invade privacy issues

Because if you aren't...
