Quadcopters UK offers a wide range of drones for sale online, including racing drones as well as recreational drones. TBS and FrSky drones are available at a reasonable price. You can also find information about No-Fly Zones and legacy drones. Regardless of what kind of drone you are interested in, you are sure to find it at Quadcopters UK. Here are some tips for getting started.
Recreational drones
The UK has strict regulations regarding recreational drones. Just recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), opened registration requirements for drone owners. The online theory test is also included. Before they fly their drones, those with drones less that 250 grams must register them with the CAA. These rules regulate drone flights in specific areas. In the event that you have questions about the laws governing drones, you can always ask the CAA.
Commercial drones
Commercial drones are likely to cause controversy and lead to new rules. Recent data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), showed a substantial increase in unmanned aircraft system permissions. These aircraft can be cost-effective, efficient, and can provide new services. However, there can be risks. Unmanned aircraft systems may cause accidents or damage to humans, and can be misused accidentally. This can lead to thousands of flight interruptions. We need to create a new regulatory framework in order to safeguard the public from such accidents.
No-fly Zones in the UK
The UK government announced plans of expanding no-fly zones to drones near airports. These zones will be expanded from one kilometer up to five kilometers. Heathrow has purchased drone antidrone systems to combat the threat posed by drones after the Gatwick airport incident. New rules from the government will ensure that drones pose no risk to passengers and airport workers. The UK is leading the way in regulating drone activity and preventing criminal acts. It is a crime for a drone to be flown over 400ft or within five kilometers of an airfield under UK drone laws. A conviction can result in significant fines and even a death sentence.
Legacy drones
It's important that you understand the rules of flying Legacy Drones in the UK. These aircraft are not allowed to be flown in residential areas, but can only be used in open fields. As with other aircraft, operators must remain at least 150 metres away from people and buildings. However, they are allowed to fly up to 2kg unmarked legacy drones in A3 Subcategory of Open Category, which is a bit less restrictive than its predecessors.
Nano-drones
A nano-drone, or miniature unmanned aerial vehicle, is also known as a drone. These small drones, which were developed by Norwegian company Prox Dynamics are light and compact. The purpose of these miniature drones is to offer situational awareness over the ground and air. Because of their small size, they can pass over obstacles without difficulty. The government of the United Kingdom has contracted a company for the development of 160 Nano drones. The contract costs twenty million sterling pounds.
DefendTex Drone40
The DefendTex Drone40 (nano unmanned aerial vehicle) has a range of 12 km. It has been used by the British Army to monitor Mali's area, where it is being used for loitering munition. It is light and can fly for up to 30 minutes. Depending on payload, it may carry electronic or kinetic weaponry, as well smoke/flash or a laser identification.
