We’re seeking feedback on a draft policy for drone operations over or near people.
Date
Drone operations vary in risk. The proposed policy aims to:
- reduce burden for lower risk operations
- focus effort on higher risk operations
- maintain strong safety outcomes for people on the ground
- better match rules to risk
- give clear guidance on when approvals are needed
- improve clarity and consistency.
Have your say
We’re seeking feedback from industry, drone users, and the community on:
- when drones 250 grams or less can operate over or near people without approval
- operations with barriers where separation reduces risk
- the updated approval framework for approvals over or near people.
