Top tip re helicopters too, but it’s not just emergency helicopters: also watch out for general aviation helicopters being flown badly. I was flying in the Chilterns last week and an R44 came through straight and level at about 50m above ground level and so I had to get my drone out the way very quickly.

@skylinedroneuk 7 месяцев назад

Very concise info for newbies - excellent =) additionally, Get a Class 2 which will allow to have almost all benefits as A1 below 250g ( apart from intentionally flying over people)- increasing your weight allowance from 250-500 grams - so that you can have those extra Nav Lights etc

Question : I have a dji mini 3 pro as it comes with the battery 249 g, I watched your video and when on the website did the theory and passed the test . I have to put the operator id in the drone and have my flyer id with me . im flying for recreation only so I don't need an insurance for that drone. question : what would be the next step ? is uk civil aviation authority , proof of completion valid anywhere to fly in Europe ? at the bottom it says a1 &a3 open sub category. ps: what's your location maybe we meet one day in march because im flying to Europe I don't have any friends there !

@UKBUBBLERS 2 года назад

excellent advice Sean as usual I wonder if we can get liability insurance for a small drone just incase it does harm someone's property or person ill have to look in to that. Well it's been confirmed my mini 3 has been dispatched so looking forward to this. are you getting the mini 3 my friend. 😁👌🇬🇧

@Backpacker1uk 2 года назад

Really helpful. Thank you. I am from Thailand and will be bringing the family on a holiday to the UK this October and was wondering if it is possible to bring my Autel Nano+ (under 250g). Your video answers this question. I will try and get my Flyer ID before I leave for the UK.

@alsstuff 2 года назад

Great video and really useful info for those starting out and a gentle reminder to more seasoned drone pilots. I was interested to hear you include the Air Ambulance and common sense should kick in when these are around but it may be useful to know that the general aviation rule when two aircraft are heading straight towards each other at the same height is to break right. That's what an Air Ambulance (or any other aircraft) is going to do in this situation but landing immediately should be your first action on hearing another aircraft close by.

@android4219 2 года назад

I gave up flying drones, some years ago. The reason being that I was often accosted by members of the public telling me that “You can’t fly drones here”. I knew the rules, and was doing nothing wrong. One guy even threatened me that if I didn’t land my drone, he’d do it for me. Drones seem to be an emotive subject for many people. I am considering getting a mini 3. Hopefully I won’t run into too many Karens.. 🙄

@notmenotme614 2 года назад

I used to work at RAF Lossiemouth many years ago. I’d be surprised if an Air Ambulance would be transiting at the same height that drones fly at. And would even be able to see a Mini 2 or Mini 3. Birdstrikes would be a bigger risk to helicopters.

@Gileser301 Год назад

@robba1234 2 года назад

Brilliant intro to the drone starter guide, much better than some "professional" guides, as you say it's not supposed to be difficult however some professionals get rules and requirements mixed over the drone rules, I stood in a park the other day watching two guys arguing about the "Rules" and it was clear one was a "professional" and was conflagrating the rules and adding HIS requirements and would not listen to the poor newbie. (I know better I do this for a living) Turned out to be a police officer and until I assisted was threatening confiscation, arrest, etc. Even after the much calmer conversation, he was insistent that rules were being broken. It was a pity as it spoiled what was a dad enjoying the day with his boys 😥

Question: What's going to happen with Mini 3 pro in regards to the classes by the end of this year (or 2023?) since it's not class certified yet? Will we be allowed to fly it close to people either for fun or for work with A2 CofC course, or it will fall into A3 category and get lost?

Hi there thanks for the information. Airspace control areas seem to be everywhere is it possible to fly in these up to 120 meters with a drone as most are flight paths by the looks of it they are in a white boarder on the app.

I have the mini 3pro and if I have set my return to home at 150ft and when it’s time to come home (ie battery low ) if at that time the drone is at say 350ft it will not descend to 150ft but come home at the height it’s ,if it’s less it will go up to that height to come home

@stewartrowley1 2 года назад

Emergency service helicopters don't normally have ADSB fitted, maybe this is a question for your next chat with the CAA. New DJI drones have the ADSB facility and can now see on coming planes equipped with ADSB, so surly all emergency helicopter should be fitted accordingly. I think the idea of ADSB is to make planes/helicopters to stand out and be safe, so make this happen to all aviation,like it is in the States.This happened to me recently where an ambulance helicopter landed about 500ft away from where i was just about to take off.the ADSB facility on the drone would have warned me.Luckily i didn't take off as i heard the helicopter at the last minute as it approach at low level. All i am pushing for is the aviation sector needs to all have ADSB fitted.
