feature Droning On... Drones – their uses, some myths debunked and a look to the future. Lance French reports area of great excitement and development and there is even talk of creating a new flight level for drone-only traffic. Given the current rules and battery technology, it may be a while before the skies are full of them, but drone delivery will come. The CAA is working with the industry to prevent chaos over Cranbrook. Do not expect to see the skies full of drones spying on us in the foreseeable future although they will certainly be part of our lives. There will be drone delivery of urgent medical supplies, search and rescue services, filming, and maybe even personal flying taxi drones, all in the name of “progress”. Remember – most drones are just people out having fun, they are not interested in spying on you. WITH DRONES set to be in the top 10 Christmas gifts this year, it is time to de-mystify the ever-growing market for these must-have gadgets. Flying drones is made easy by the use of complete flight controller electronics that do much of the flying for the pilot. The modern technology is wellproven and reliable and while accidents do happen, they are thankfully very rare. Most drones are electric powered, relatively quiet compared to aircraft and are very small. It is hard to imagine that the noise and sight of them can really be considered a nuisance. All non-military UK airspace is controlled by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and no matter what you might be told, they make the rules which are enforceable by the police. Pilots need the landowners’ “DELIVERY BY DRONE IS AN AREA OF GREAT EXCITEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT AND THERE IS EVEN TALK OF CREATING A NEW FLIGHT LEVEL FOR DRONE-ONLY TRAFFIC” permission to take off and land. There is no such thing as private airspace. What drones photograph and film is covered by privacy laws and it is no different to using a camera in the street – the same rules apply. The CAA’s remit is limited to safety and does not include concern over privacy or broadcast rights. Privacy issues are covered by the Information Commissioners Office, not the CAA.
