When operating a drone in the UK, it's essential to follow certain rules set by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Firstly, you must keep your drone within your line of sight at all times. Secondly, you should not fly your drone higher than 400 feet (120 meters) above the ground.
All drones over 250 grams must be registered with the CAA, and pilots need to take an online safety test to get a Flyer ID. For drones over 20 kg, or for commercial use, you'll also need an Operator ID.
There are no-fly zones you must adhere to, including airports and restricted airspace. Additionally, it is prohibited to fly drones near crowds or gatherings of people, as well as over cities and towns.
Respect the privacy of individuals when flying your drone. Do not capture images or videos of people without their consent, and be cautious when flying over private property.
