4. FLIGHT SAFETY
Before flying your Raven+ make sure that you are in a safe setting. CASA
restrictions regarding flying drones require the drone to be no closer than
5.5kms from any airport or airfield whilst flying. Drones should also not be
flown over populated areas or any closer than 30 metres from vehicles people
or animals.
It is also required that you check your surroundings before taking off making
sure there are no obstacles or dangers in the area including overhead power
lines and bodies of water. If there are hazards present in your intended area
of flight, please consider an alternative location.
