New drone restrictions coming into force next week

New Island rules on flying light drones come into force next week.


The rules for drones that weigh under 250 grams take effect from Tuesday, September 1.

Pilots mustn't endanger people, property or other aircraft, drop items from drones, fly near the airport or prison, and must keep the drone in sight at all times.

Breaking the law could land you a fine of up to £10,000 and up to five years in prison.
