2. Regulations
Most countries have regulations in place that govern the safe use of drones. These regulations are in place to not
only ensure your safety, but the safety of other; aircraft, people, and property on the ground. It’s very important
that you understand your countries local laws and regulations regarding the use of drones.
Australia
In Australia, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is the organisation empowered by the Civil Aviation Act to
develop and enforce these safety rules and regulations. Most people find the regulations difficult to read and
interpret. As a result, CASA have released an

explains the regulations in plain English.

short. So wherever you see the term RPA, you know they’re just talking about drones.
