The laws regarding drones are being updated very rapidly, as the use of drones has spread dramatically over the last couple of years. It was only at the end of July last year that the government made it illegal to fly a drone above 400 feet or within 1km of an airport. After the issues at Heathrow and Gatwick, the 1km rule was very quickly changed to 5km. That now includes a width of 1km, so it is forbidden to fly a drone anywhere in an area of 1km wide and 5km from the end of a runway.
Consumer drones – which are drones weighing less than 20kg must also be kept at least 50 metres from people and private property and at least 150 metres away from congested areas and organised open-air assemblies of more than 1,000 people.
Flying your drone above 400 feet can result in you being charged with “recklessly or negligently acting in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft or any person in an aircraft” and facing a fine of up to £2,500 or up to five years in prison.
