The UK has no-fly areas

The UK government announced plans in order to increase drone no-fly zones near airports. These areas will expand from one kilometer to five kilometres. Heathrow purchased drone antidrille systems in response to the Gatwick crash. New rules by the government will ensure that drones are not a danger to airport workers and passengers. The UK leads the charge in regulating drone activity, and preventing criminal acts. The UK's drone laws make it a crime to fly a drone over 400 feet or within five kilometers of an airport. A conviction could result in severe fines or even a lifetime sentence.

Legacy drones

It is essential to know the rules for flying Legacy Drones in Britain if you want to do so. In general, these aircraft can only be flown in open fields, not in residential areas. Operators must stay at least 150m away from buildings and people as with all aircraft. However, they are allowed to fly up to 2kg unmarked legacy drones in A3 Subcategory of Open Category, which is a bit less restrictive than its predecessors.


Nano-drones

The purpose of these miniature drones is to offer situational awareness over the ground and air. They can easily pass through obstacles because of their small size.
