It wouldn’t matter if you could fly above 500ft, you should not be flying above any person that isn’t protected by a structure or inside a stationary vehicle, regardless of altitude. The separation distances specified are lateral.
Your understanding is incorrect. There is no regulation in the USA that says you must be at least 500' away from people. There is no such rule, law, regulation of any sort that says that.
You cannot at any time, at any altitude, ever fly over people unless you have a waiver from the FAA, and that is not something you will get with a consumer level drone.
A few things you have totaly wrong. You can fly above 400 feet AGL if you are withing 400 feet of a structure, (building, tower, power line polls ets) when you aee within 400 hindred feet of that structure you can fly the hight of that structure plus 400 feet. As far as flying ove people there is somthing you should know you can fly over people if they are aware of and aprove your flyover. If you have your part 107 you can request a waver to fly over people.
It would be appreciated if you might sight the provision where a recreational UAV operator might fly over people with consent (excluding VO or others who might be directly involved in the operation).
Whoa, hold on, please.
Sorry but the information you have posted is totally wrong. Please familiarize yourself with the actual regulations before posting wrong information...
This is only true if you have are Part 107 certificated and you are flying a commercial mission. Recreational pilots/flights may never exceed 400 feet AGL.
This is totally wrong. You cannot fly over people unless they are directly involved in the flight itself. That means a RPIC or VO basically. Bystanders cannot give you permission to fly over them legally. It does not matter if bystanders give you permission or not...you still cannot fly over people legally.
Should have had it! Agreed. However, there are other avenues available to increase one’s knowledge of proper and correct procedures for flying recreationally. Telephone, emails, written correspondence, and for the most part even this forum!
The government: we promise you this, (but we’re gonna do what we want to do, when we want to do it!)
UK Theory test is quite simple (Rules are not that hard to learn), I have learnt much more over the last few days of coming on here and a UK site.
For those that desire to learn and then follow them. That is the difficult part.
