Rules & Regulations
The following regulations must be followed when operating a camera drone or quadcopter in
Australia.
• You must only y during the day and keep your drone within visual line-of-sight. This means
being able to see the aircraft with your own eyes (rather than through a device) at all times.
• You must not y over or above people. This could include beaches, parks, events, or sport ovals
where there is a game in progress.
• You must keep your drone at least 30 metres away from other people.
• You must not y your drone higher than 120 metres (400ft) above the ground.
• You must not y your drone over or near an area aecting public safety or where emergency

crash, police operations, a re and associated reghting eorts, and search and rescue.
• You must only y one drone at a time.
• If your drone weighs more than 100g, you must keep at least 5.5km away from controlled
aerodromes. Flying within 5.5km of a noncontrolled aerodrome or helicopter landing site
(HLS) is possible, but only if no manned aircraft are operating to or from the aerodrome. If
you become aware of manned aircraft operating to or from the aerodrome/HLS, you must
manoeuvre away from the aircraft and land as soon as safely possible.
• It is illegal to y for money or economic reward unless you have a drone operators certicate, or
you are ying an excluded drone in the sub-2kg or private landholder category.
• Remember, you must not operate your drone in a way that creates a hazard to another aircraft,
person or property.
• Respect personal privacy. Don’t record or photograph people without their consent — this may
breach state laws.

3.2 Switching OFF the Propellers & Drone
To power down the drone and its propellers, there are three methods that can be used.
Each method is dierent and should be used based on the situation at hand:
Operation
Method 1: Slow Shutdown - Push the left thumb stick down to
the lowest level and hold for approximately 5 seconds until the
drone has landed and powered down. In this method, the drone
will slowly come back to the ground and then the propellers will
power down. Use this function if you do not want the motor and
propellers to cut out immediately
Method 2: Immediate Shut Down - Move the left and right
thumb sticks inwards and hold for 1-2 seconds as illustrated to
immediately shut down the motor and propellers. This method
diers from methods 1 and 3 as the drone will not slowly land,
the propellers will immediately shut o and the drone will fall to
the ground.
NOTE: This method should only be used for emergency landings OR
when the drone is close to the ground (approximately 30cm)
Method 3: Auto-Land – Press the B button on the top of the
remote control to auto-land the drone. Like method 1, the drone
will slowly come back to the ground and the propellers will
power down
NOTE:
• In methods 1 and 3, the propellers will not immediately power down. If the drone is already close to
the ground and you use one of these methods, you may need to use the thumb sticks to direct and
control the drone as necessary until the propellers power down and the drone has landed
