Winter is here. Can you still see your drone?

Rain, fog, mist and cloud can reduce your visibility.

Always keep your drone in visual line-of-sight. If you’re flying and can’t see your drone clearly, don’t fly.

Have you been enjoying the lights at @‌VividSydney?

Remember, you must:

👥 only fly in unpopulated areas

📍 keep it at least 30 metres from other people

☀️ only fly during daylight hours

🏙️ get an approval to fly in restricted airspace.

So, keep those skies clear for the lights and fireworks. Leave your drone at home (unless you're licensed, certified and have an approval to operate in the area).

Choosing the right location is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a drone operator.

Check the area is free from people before you launch and use a CASA-verified drone safety app to check where you can fly.

Keep your drone well clear of people, property and aircraft. If people move nearby, move away or land safely.

Give your drone the room it needs to fly safely.

There's more to safe flying than keeping your drone in the air. Good operators stay aware of what's around their drone at all times.

Keep a safe distance from people, property and aircraft and stay alert to anything that changes.

A little preparation before you fly goes a long way.

Choosing the right location can be one of the most important decisions you'll make as a drone operator.

Check the area before you launch and keep your drone well clear of people, property and aircraft. It’s your responsibility to make sure you do not fly in restricted airspace or become a hazard to others.

If people move nearby, move away or land safely. Give your drone the room it needs to fly safely. Always check a CASA-verified drone safety app before you fly.

Are you heading to Star-Bound: the Vivid Sydney drone show?

✨ Up to 1,000 drones are lighting up Cockle Bay every Sunday to Wednesday night (weather permitting) until 10 June under strict safety controls and CASA approvals.

Sydney Harbour is restricted airspace, and drone safety rules still apply during the festival. Flying your own drone near the event could put other aircraft and people at risk.

If you are visiting the festival, leave your drone at home and enjoy the show from the ground.

NSW Police Force will be monitoring the airspace during the festival.
