Drone rules

Reporting illegal or unsafe drone use

If you see someone using a drone in an illegal or unsafe manner within the ºÚÁÏÉç, you can report it to CASA. Offenders can receive large fines.

Breaches can be investigated where there is sufficient evidence, such as photographs or video recordings of the breach and the person controlling the drone at the time. CASA is not able to investigate any privacy concerns or claims as their role is restricted primarily to aviation safety.
