To protect yourself and other people's safety when you fly, you must follow the drone safety rules.

You must:
 

• Only fly one drone at a time
• Always fly your drone within visual line-of-sight — this means:
  • Flying only during the day
  • Avoid flying in cloud, fog or heavy rain
  • Make sure you can see your drone with your own eyes at all times — not by using binoculars or watching a video screen
  • Do not fly behind trees, buildings or anything else that stops you seeing your drone at all times. 

You must not fly your drone:
 

• Higher than 120 m (400 ft) above ground level — that's about the height of a 35-storey building or length of a football field
• Closer than 30 m to people — other than those helping to fly or navigate your drone
• Over or above people at any time or height
• In a way that creates a hazard to another person, aircraft or property
• Near emergency situations
• In prohibited or restricted airspace
• Closer than 5.5 km to an aerodrome or airfield (usually those with a control tower), if your drone weighs more than 100 g
