Han, a travel enthusiast and obsessed with drones, has been hoping to record Australia's magnificent scenery with his own camera.
This day, Han with his photographic equipment and drones, finally arrived at the day and night, haunting Keynes. Standing by the sea, Han took out his photography weapon-the drone-and began to record the beautiful scenery from the perspective of God. As the drones roared up into the sky, in Han's monitoring screen, the rolling white beach, the blue water, the distant hidden Great Barrier Reef slowly came into view, just as Han was ready to press the videotape key. A police car flickering with a police light suddenly appeared in the camera.
Han was "inexplicably" taken back to the police station and told that he needed to be punished for violating Australian drone flight rules.
With the improvement of people's living standards, high-tech products such as drones frequently appear in the luggage of Chinese tourists. The Chinese Consulate General in Brisbane reminded Chinese citizens to be aware of Australia's laws and regulations before using flying equipment such as drones so as not to face serious penalties for violating Australia's laws.
At present, among the relevant provisions of the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency with regard to the flight of unmanned aerial vehicles for leisure purposes, special attention needs to be paid to:
- The flight limit of the aircraft is 120 meters above the ground.
- The aircraft must be 30 metres away from personnel other than the operator or pilot.
- An operator can operate only one aircraft at the same time.
- The aircraft can only fly during the day and must remain within the visual range of the operator at all times, rather than observing the flight status through the monitor.
- Aircraft must not leap over or hover over others. The rules include beaches, parks, rallies and stadiums.
- Aircraft are not allowed to leapfrog or close to areas affecting public safety or areas in which an emergency is taking place.
- Aircraft weighing more than 100 grams, the controlled airport 5.5 km range is no-fly zone.
- The flight range of the aircraft shall not be harmful to other aircraft, other persons and property.
- Aircraft must respect the privacy of others when recording images, not shoot or record others without the permission of others.
If you want to use drones in parks owned by goverment, in addition to complying with the requirements of the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency, users are also required to comply with the relevant requirements of the City's goverment. Among them, the following should be noted:
- Aircraft shall be powered by electric power and shall not exceed 2kg.
- Aircraft use may not be earlier than 7 am from Monday to Saturday, and not earlier than 8: 00 AM on Sundays and public holidays.
In addition, since the domestic drone flight area control system does not contain relevant geographic information about Australia, it is not clear whether the location in Australia is part of the no-fly zone for drones. Our library proposes to download the "Can I Fly There?" provided by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency The application queries and releases the drones after confirming the location is seaworthy.

- In addition, the state and city goverment have their own rules on the use of drones, not one by one here.
