The Safe and Legal Operation of Commercial Drones in Australia

John Fleming

The use of drones and drone technology is on a rapid increase due to advances in modern technology. This poses considerable safety concerns as inexperienced operators scramble to utilize these technologies to get the edge in their chosen industries. — The Motion Picture and Television industries will be heavily influenced by the use of drones and drone technology, and therefore it is vitally important that the industry as a whole has an understanding of the rules, regulations and safety concerns whilst operating these machines commercially. — Where once seen as toys, these are now tools of the trade, and as such their use and the safety aspect of such use is something to be respected and taken seriously.
