The quick rise in drones for sale everywhere from online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay to offline drone retailers, has meant that the aviation authorities such as the FAA in the USA and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK haven’t yet caught up with their regulations.
Keeping that in mind, I have tried to put together a quick guide on the ‘moral’ use of drones; in other words, without breaking any unwritten rules, since other than some basic generic rules, there aren’t any aimed specifically at quads and amateur drones.
Other countries though, for example Spain have now published a document containing a temporary set of regulations for safe drone flying. They do emphasize that these should be taken more as guidelines rather than followed exactly.
