The government is reminding people of new laws regarding drones coming into force next year.
From January 1, 2019 it will be illegal to fly drones in the area of the Island's Airport and Prison.
From the start of next year it'll be against the law to fly any unmanned craft weighing between 250g and 20kg within five kilometres of both facilities.
The Civil Aviation Administration says breaking these restrictions will be punishable by a fine of up to £2,500.
Deputy Director of Civil Aviation Collin Gill says the consequences of a drone colliding with an aircraft could be catastrophic.
