Flying a Drone in Australia (2018) - AUS drone rules in under 2 minutes
what up YouTube if you live in Australia
and you've recently bought a drone or
you're thinking of buying a drone or
maybe you're traveling to Australia soon
on a holiday or maybe just live in the
country and you're just curious as to
how a drone rules work I'm gonna be
showing you as simply as I can the rules
around flying a drone in Australia in
under two minutes so let's do it
[Music]
drones have been around for years and
haven't exactly been mainstream but they
are becoming more and more popular
especially as they filter through a lot
of major retail stores in Australia such
as JP high five
by having joins available in such large
retail chain stores they're becoming
much more accessible and they're
becoming much easier for consumers to
just walk into a store and buy one and
throw them up in the air like with any
new technology there's always certain
rules and best practices that you should
learn before you start using the product
and cos I'd make a big deal about
setting out important rules for any
drone fly around there to make sure that
everyone's privacy and security is well
taken care of they've even gone so far
as to develop an app it's called can I
fly there and it really is a great app
for anyone starting out or for anyone
that's unsure whether drone is allowed
to fly in that area you can literally
load up the app and it will come up on
screen and tell you yes you can fly you
know you can't fly here or yes you can
but be aware of these certain
restrictions why are you watching this
video go ahead and download that up now
because it really is important and it's
probably step number one if you want to
fly drone Australia and recently DJI the
leading manufacturer of drones has come
out with a mandatory quiz that you must
take before you fly there worked in
conjunction with the Australian
government to come up with that quiz and
make sure it is mandatory so it's a
great step in the right direction to
make sure that everyone is safe and
everyone understands the rules so let's
set that two-minute timer down below and
let's get started on those rules right
so there's three basic rules that you
have to ensure that you follow to start
with first one is that you can only fly
it one round at a time no exceptions
second is that you must always maintain
visual line of sight which means that
you cannot fly your drone kilometres
away if you can't see it and it also
means that you can't use any goggles on
your face if you can't directly see the
drone itself
you must always ensure that you never
exceed a maximum altitude of 120 metres
now if you're out and about and you want
to catch some great shots of some
scenery or some action happening nearby
that's fine but you must make sure that
you don't fly directly over crowds and
this is so that in case your drone
malfunctions it doesn't fall and cause
issues to anyone so with that in mind
you must also maintain a 30 meter radius
around other people around you it's fine
but around others at 30 meter radius
must be maintained and a little-known
rule if you're out in the water then you
must also keep 300 meter radius
around marine animals now moving on to
airports there to be create a controlled
airspace so in Australia you cannot fly
within 5.5 kilometers of a controlled
airspace there are some areas where you
can fly your drone where it's not a
controlled airspace for example around a
helicopter pad for a hospital they're
typically marked in the Casa app with a
yellow coloring and what this means is
that you can fly in the area but if
another helicopter or airplane comes
into that area then you must safely land
your drone as quickly as possible to get
out of the way similarly if you're out
and about an emergency services in the
area then you must also safely land your
drone as quickly as possible and that's
so that you don't interrupt them and of
course nighttime you cannot fly because
you can't maintain visual line of sight
so nighttime is out of the question and
lastly there are some no-fly zones
around the country so make sure you use
that Casa app as it will tell you if
you're in a no-fly zone the only
exception to that rule that I've
discovered so far is that it doesn't
include National Park and national parks
are generally a no-fly zone but you can
get an exception if you wish you just
have to contact the park manager for
approval and last but not least just
make sure at all times you use common
sense and respect people's personal
privacy there are major fines for not
following these rules and you can cause
serious damage to others if you don't
pay attention and you don't know what
you're doing and if you're ever unsure
about any of these rules feel free or
visit the castle website on their they

still unsure feel free to leave a
