Backyard drone operators to be handed guidelines after one crashed into the Harbour Bridge<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone purchasing a drone from a major retailer will be handed the code in a deal reached with the national Civil Aviation Safety Authority amid a surge in sales.<\/p>\n

The move follows two separate investigations into recent crashes. A man was fined $850 after crashing his drone into the Sydney Harbour Bridge last year, while witnesses are being sought after a woman suffered head injuries after being hit by one in Western Australia.<\/p>\n

A Westpac rescue helicopter also had a close call after nearly colliding with a drone being flown at night at 300m above Newcastle last month, while about 100 warnings have been issued by CASA for safety breaches.<\/p>\n

Real estate agents, farmers, aviation enthusiasts and social media filmmakers are among those driving up sales. But while a licence is required for drones used for commercial operations, amateurs were often ignorant of the rules.<\/p>\n

CASA wants users to avoid crowded places such as beaches, parks and sporting events and recommends permission be sought before drones are flown over backyards.<\/p>\n

Around 100,000 leaflets spelling out the rules will be distributed in Harvey Norman, Hobbyco and Teds Cameras stores nationally.<\/p>\n
