    Consider others,

    be responsible
    Rule #1
    Fly no higher than 120m
    (400 ft) above the ground.

    This keeps your drone below the height


    of other aircraft.

    Rule #2
    Stay a safe and considerate distance
    away from people and buildings.

    Don’t fly directly


    over people, unless
    they say it’s OK.
    Rule #3
    Don’t fly over private land, such as farms
    or houses, unless the owner says it’s OK.

    Check with the local council or the Department of


    Conservation before flying in public areas such as parks,
    beaches and reserves.

    Rule #4
    Keep your drone in sight
    at all times.

    Fly only in daylight and when the visibility is good


    – stay clear of fog and cloud.

    Rule #5
    Stay 4 km away from anywhere aircraft
    are landing or taking off.

    This includes helipads at hospitals and those used by


    sightseeing aircraft. Be aware that controlled airspace
    around airports extends well beyond the 4 km limit – you
    must have clearance from air traffic control to operate in
    that area. Don’t fly in special use airspace, such as Low
    Flying Zones, danger, restricted or Military Operating Areas.
    Rule #6
    It’s dangerous to fly
    drones anywhere other
    aircraft are operating.

    If you see another aircraft,


    stay well clear of it and land
    immediately.

    No-fly zones
    Know the no-fly zones.

    To see a map of these no-fly zones, or


    to apply for a clearance to fly your drone
    within controlled airspace, go to:

    airshare.co.nz
    Preflight checklist
    Like any pilot, you need to do a preflight check.

    Check the tech


    Make sure the battery is fully charged and all drone
    components are secure and undamaged.

    Scan the land


    Your flying area must be clear of people, animals,
    or anything that might cause problems, such as
    powerlines. Get permission if you plan to fly over
    people or private property, or stay well away.

    Eyes on the drone


    You must always be able to see your drone.
    Fly it no higher than 120 m (400 ft) above ground
    level, and only in daylight, avoiding cloud or fog.

    Check for no-fly zones


    There are many areas you can’t fly a drone, such
    as zones that extend around airports. Know where
    you’re allowed to fly, and where you need to ask
    for clearance first.

    Be ready to land
    If you see another aircraft, or an emergency
    situation unfolding, immediately land your drone.

    Training
    Get some training to help you better understand
    how to fly within the group of Civil Aviation
    Rules known as ‘Part 101’.
    If you can’t fly your drone according to these rules, you
    must get an Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate under
    ‘Part 102’.
    Find more information about how to get that certificate,
    and a list of approved training organisations at:
    aviation.govt.nz/drones
    For more
    information about
    flying your drone
    aviation.govt.nz/drones

    To contact the
    CAA for advice
    drones@caa.govt.nz

    See the full rules and


    variations affecting drones
    at: aviation.govt.nz/drones
    You must follow the
    New Zealand Civil Aviation
    Rules when flying your drone.
    Complying with them can
    also help you avoid fines
    or prosecution.
