TIPS BEFORE FLYING A DRONE FOR THE FIRST TIME
2
  • Nobody expects you to fly your newly purchased
    drone expertly on your first attempt, and most
    people improve with practice. However, since most
    recreational drones dont come with a set of
    rules or guidelines for piloting them, youd be
    wise to exercise caution when flying one for the
    first time.
  • Here are a few things to take note of before you
    launch your drone for the first time and begin
    piloting your way around the world!

3
  • Each country has a different set of droning rules
    and regulations that are legally binding
  • If you plan to travel overseas with your drone,
    try to familiarise yourself with the local laws
    and guidelines to make sure that you dont get
    into trouble with the authorities while youre
    away from home. Here in the U.S. its no longer
    necessary that you register your drone with the
    FAA, but it is still strongly recommended that
    you do so, and at the very least, take note of
    their guidelines.
  • Strict rules apply in most countries as to the
    flying of drones in the vicinity of airports, and
    many other large public spaces may have
    restrictions in place, too.

4
  • As we have seen in recent years, you may receive
    more than just a slap on the wrist if caught
    flying your drone in or close to a restricted
    zone, and at the very least could face a hefty
    penalty and even jail time.
  • If weather conditions arent suitable, dont
    attempt to fly
  • Even the most experienced and adept drone pilots
    dont fly their drones in certain weather
    conditions, such as high winds, heavy rain and
    snow. You may be keen to get going with your
    newly purchased drone, but any attempt to fly it
    in conditions that are less than favourable,
    could see you damaging your drone or even causing
    harm to individuals or property.

5
  • Ground conditions can sometimes lull us into a
    false sense of security, and while the weather
    down on the ground may seem settled, the same may
    not always be said of the sky above our heads.
    Check local weather forecasts before flying, and
    if youre concerned, its best to wait.
  • Be mindful of Return-to- Home technology
  • While this may be an exciting new feature
    available on many drones, it can lead to some
    catastrophic crashes, so if youre going to make
    use of this software, be sure to fly your drone
    well away from trees, powerlines and tall
    buildings.

6
  • Practice makes perfect
  • If flying your drone for the first time, dont
    rush into it and try to ensure that you are calm
    and not distracted before beginning. If your
    first attempt doesnt go so well, dont give up.
    Practice makes perfect when it comes to flying a
    drone, and the only way is truly up! Fly your
    drone often and over short distances until your
    confidence and your skills grow, and youll soon
    get the hang of it.
  • Keep safety foremost in your mind when flying
    your drone, whether youre experienced or a
    novice and begin with a small drone that wont
    cost the earth should you damage it. Once you
    become more confident, it will become more fun,
    too and you can upgrade your drone as and when
    you see fit.
