Drone complaint – Narooma police last Tuesday at 4pm received a complaint about a drone flying above the backyard of a Dalmeny residence. Police remind all drone owners that new legislation from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority is now in force. From September 29, if you are flying for any form of economic gain, you need to have an RPA (remotely piloted aircraft) operator’s certificate, or if you're flying an RPA weighing less than two kilograms, simply notify CASA. If you are flying for fun and not commercially, then the regulations are less restrictive and allow you to fly an RPA without needing to be certified, providing you follow some simple safety rules. These include only flying by day, keeping the RPA within line of sight, not flying higher than 120 metres, keeping the RPA 30 metres away from any people, staying 5.5km away from a controlled aerodrome and not flying RPAs over populous areas including parks or beaches where people are present.
