February 2nd, 2020Drone safety & drone laws
December 31st, 2019All countries have a national aviation authority, in charge of anything man-made that is airborne, apart from small kites and party balloons.

These drone video sound recordings are filed with the cached videos on the […]
The Rural Drone Academy
March 15th, 2018Like every project I undertake, the Rural Drone Academy was created to solve an unaddressed problem. Spotting gaps then addressing them has been the hallmark of my rural advocacy business over several decades. The problem that the Rural Drone Academy tackles? There’s several: 1. Drones have become men’s business and this has long-term implications for […]
Drone and aviation safety
December 1st, 2017At present there are no standard drone laws across the EU. Instead, each EU member country has their own set of UAS regulations. By 2019 the EU plans to have formulated a uniform set of UAS rules which will include registration of all drones and the ability to remotely identify drones, as part of an […]
