Nice overview. I've heard that excluded flyers have to agree to AC101-10...which is interesting considering the misalignment. Also as I understand it the app doesn't highlight PRD areas when active like ozrunways. Wish it did!

Hi Robert. I'd be interested to know what Excluded RPA operators have to agree to now given the recent rule change Direction from CASA (is this explained to them?). The good thing about CASA's app is it shows active restricted areas, it just doesn't explain much about them i.e. hours of operation, activity, controlling authority etc. I didn't discuss it in the video, but the app does show 'danger areas' and gives a brief explanation about what to look out for. These are shaded in yellow as well (a good example is around the Glasshouse Mountains north of Brisbane).

wouldnt it be nice if they included proper ERSA links and NOTAMS .. i mean this wouldnt be hard to do .. apps like RWY already seem to manage it .. but casa just didnt seem to be able to .. like offering PROPER information .. not watered down for "Drone" operators because i think its probably pretty important for drone operators to know the rules too .. with regard to reading ERSA's VTC/VNC and NOTAMS.. even if they arent REPL's

Howdy? I am visiting BNE next week for my vacation time. I will spend 7 days on traveling there, and the highlight is that i will bring over my drone with me along this trip. I have been reading and tried to understand CASA rules and regulations. To be honesy, the article showing in the website for me is a bit difficult to understand. So this is my personal summary that - a red color is not allowed to fly within 5.5 km. radius... - an orange/ yellow is allowed to fly, but need to be careful? - no color restriction is free to fly? Please advice for this. Thank you very much. -

This app will not display any information if there is no phone or internet service available. Do you know of a similar app that works offline?

What happens if I fly to no fly zone by accident from fly zone. Will I loose my drone??

Hi Peter. Some drones will have geofencing built into the software that stops you flying certain near airports. However, this feature is limited and from experience quite inaccurate. If you hit a geofence you won't lose your drone, but it will stop flying any further towards the airport. The bigger consideration is not to create a hazard to airspace users by operating somewhere you shouldn't be - CASA's app will help you understand areas that are unsafe. However, as discussed in the video, the app only considers airspace (i.e. operations near aerodromes, approach/deaprture paths, and restricted areas) and doesn't consider other rules like avoiding overflying people and populous areas. ^Andrew

Hi Andrew and thank for your reply. I went on sunday to clovelly and I could not find on my tablet DJI flying program.But at home in Rose bay the program came back. So I went flying around my residence without any problem , then about 300m from home point I lost control on my remote (up /down) and it said : aircraft disconnected, so I pressed home button and it returned.Is that how it works ?? Peter ,

It’s hard to say without being there, but you may have just flown too far from your transmitter, causing the link to the drone to drop out. Also, if you’re talking about Rose Bay in Sydney Harbour, be very careful flying here because of the associated restricted area and nearby aircraft activity.

Could you tell if I can fly my drone in Sydney CBD (yellow area) and if yes how high can I fly? Thanks a lot

Hi Artjom. The first thing to consider is CASA's app only considers airspace. It doesn't consider other rules like avoiding people by 30 metres (and not flying directly overhead), avoiding populous areas, and local council/government laws. I believe the local council has banned drones from taking off and landing on council property, such as Hyde Park etc. Regarding airspace alone, you are clear of Sydney Airport in the CBD, but you're within 3nm of the helipads at Victoria Barracks and St Johns Oval. This means as soon as you become aware of a helicopter using these helipads you must land. Otherwise the normal height restriction of 400 feet (121 metres) applies. The final consideration is Sydney Harbour is a restrcited area. This means no aircraft (including manned aircraft) can fly overhead the harbour unless approved by CASA. We recommend downloading the app to confirm any restrictions depending on exactly where you want to fly. Have a read of our blog too which explains the drone flying rules: remoteaviation.com.au/what-are-australias-drone-laws/ Overall, I would not recommend flying around the CBD because it will be very difficult to avoid populous areas and not fly within 30 metres of people.

Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what exactly is considered by a populous area? If we take an example of a lonely beach where I am allowed to fly. While I am alone at the beach flying and there is absolutely nobody else on the beach this area is obviously a non populous. Suddenly 10, 20 other people are visiting at the beach while I am flying. When and how many people need to be on the beach to call it a populous area? The same thing in the city. If I want to fly in Sydney CBD in the early morning there are obviously not as many people on the street compare to lunchtime? How many people need to be in the flying area to call it a populous area? Thanks a lot

Hi Artjom. The short answer is one person can make it a populous area. The following is from the link to the blog posted above: When considering drone operations over populated areas, the safety of people and property below is paramount. The term ‘populous area’ is regularly used in the legislation, with the definition being: “An area is a populous area in relation to the operation of an unmanned aircraft or rocket if the area has a sufficient density of population for some aspect of the operation, or some event that might happen during the operation (in particular, a fault in, or failure of, the aircraft) to pose an unreasonable risk to the life, safety or property of somebody who is in the area but is not connected with the operation.” It is important to note that it refers to posing an unreasonable risk to “life, safety or property of somebody”. Therefore, not only does the term populous area consider the possibility of a person becoming injured (or killed), it also considers the likelihood of damaging property, such as houses, cars and infrastructure. Some might view this meaning as ambiguous, and different people may have different views on the meaning of phrases like “sufficient density of population” and “pose an unreasonable risk”. However, CASA has attempted to provide clarification of drone laws by providing further examples in their advisory circulars: “If a rotorcraft-type RPA (drone) is flying at a relatively low height (i.e. 100 feet) directly above a single person not associated with the flight, it may be considered to be operating in a populous area due to the fact that a complete loss of power may cause injury to the person below. Similarly, an RPA (drone) operating over a large public gathering at a high level (i.e. 400 feet) would pose an unreasonable risk to the safety of the people below because, in the event of a systems failure, it may not be able to clear the area. This interpretation would apply equally to higher flight over built-up areas where there is a greater risk to property.” While these clarification statements from CASA are guidance only (and are not law), it is strongly recommended you follow CASA’s advice to ensure you are complying with the regulations. Most drones will not be able to glide clear of the area in the event of a failure. This can make it near impossible to operate in many built-up areas and still adhere to the populous area rule. However, there are several risk mitigation strategies you may be able to implement to change the operating environment from populous to non-populous. Examples used by current certified operators include establishing exclusion zones, use of safety cones and signs, employing safety controllers, contacting local residents asking them to remain indoors, considering a more appropriate time of day/week, and adding system redundancies to the RPA.
