In the UK, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) sets the rules for flying drones. When it comes to flying drones over private property, there are specific guidelines that drone operators need to adhere to.
Respect for privacy and property rights is crucial when flying drones over private property. It is illegal to fly a drone within 50 meters of any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure not under the control of the drone operator, unless permission has been obtained.
If you plan to fly your drone over someone else's private property, it is advisable to seek permission from the property owner beforehand. This applies even if you are flying the drone in a public area but intend to capture footage of private property.
When flying drones over private property, you must also be aware of trespass laws. Even if you have permission to fly over a property, you could still be at risk of trespass if the drone inadvertently enters the property's airspace.
Always fly your drone responsibly and ethically to avoid any conflicts with property owners or legal issues. Understanding and following the rules and guidelines set by the CAA is essential to ensure a safe and lawful drone flying experience.
