CAN I USE A DRONE TO SHOOT FOOTAGE DURING A GAME? There is a distinction between recreational and commercial purposes: * Recreational purposes would include a club member flying a drone over


a game to shoot footage to be watched afterwards. * Any drone used for recreational purposes must weigh less than 20kg * Anyone flying a drone for commercial purposes (e.g. shooting footage


that may be sold or used for commercial purposes) must have a PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operation) certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. To obtain a PfCO, the pilot must


attend an approved training course. * You need to pass an online test to get a flyer ID if you want to fly a drone and model aircraft * Register for an operator ID if you are responsible


for a drone or model aircraft * Label any drones and model aircraft you are responsible for with your operator ID _This is to be read in conjunction with the relevant legislation_ When using


drones for filming it is important to remember to obtain consent, please review the safeguarding section for guidance on the use of video and photography.
