Australian UAV rules being overhauled

"Operators of the smallest Group A, weighing 2kg or less, will simply be able to fill out an online authorisation form, receive electronic approval, and start flying.

Senior CASA officer Jim Coyne says the safety risk posed by this group is negligible, comparable to being hit by a cricket ball."

Hopefully Canada won't be too far behind.

  • That is so cool, Andrew. Can you provide more Aussie links to
    this development
    ?   I am hoping that us "Canukanauts" can get
    a bit more weight, like 5 lbs, which allows for more payload.
