Electric Aircraft interest?
winsor68 replied to bexrbetter's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
I think you are asking the wrong audience. -
Flying drones or model aircraft recreationally | Civil Aviation Safety Authority
-
The fact that it is a drone/quadcopter/biplane/helicopter is also irrelevent.
-
The weight is irrelevant. She operated within 30 meters of a building and over a built up area. There is no mention of weight in the model regs until you get to the really big machines.
-
Nothing to do with the weight. I think you are thinking of commercial operations.

You should only fly in visual line-of-sight, in day visual meteorological conditions (VMC). What does that mean? No night flying (generally). No flying in or through cloud or fog. Be able to see the aircraft with your own eyes (rather than through first-person-view [FPV, binoculars, telescopes]) at all times, (unless you operate under the procedures of an approved model flying association. Contact the MAAA for more information about flying FPV). [*]You must not fly closer than 30 metres to vehicles, boats, buildings or people. [*]You must not fly over populous areas such as beaches, heavily populated parks, or sports ovals while they are in use. [*]In controlled airspace, which covers most Australian cities, you must not fly higher than 120 metres (400 feet) above the ground. [*]You must not fly in a way that creates a hazard to other aircraft, so you should keep at least 5.5 km away from airfields, aerodromes and helicopter landing sites. [*]You must not fly your RPA in or over prohibited / restricted area, unless you have the permission of the authority controlling the area. In restricted airspace, aircraft movements are reduced to those with certain specified permissions. Examples of restricted airspace include airspace around military installations or military controlled aerodromes, over Sydney Harbour, high-density flying operations or at an air show or other large public event. Restricted airspace may also be imposed by police for safety or security reasons near bushfires or major crime scenes. It is illegal to fly your RPA in these areas without permission. Operations within the 3nm (5.5km) radius of an aerodrome or helicopter landing site are possible and lawful providing you comply with the Standard Operating Conditions listed above and ensure that you do not operate: on the approach and departure path, or within the movement area, or create a hazard to aircraft that may be using those areas. RPA used for sport or recreational purposes that weigh 150kg or less are considered to be operating privately and are regulated by the provisions for model aircraft. More information about these requirements are provided in Advisory Circulars available for download:
