They are banned Jim.

At least they are banned within 1km of an airport, and in lots of other places. You also need a drone pilot’s license for larger drones, and to operate on other areas. Banning them entirely would be a shame. They can be highly useful, like in telecoms where in NL we’ve used them to check sites which was previously a job requiring an operative to climb a tower.

Is now faster, safer and means cross training the engineers into a modern skill.
