7 Common mistake when Operating Drone
Drones are becoming more affordable, and anyone can learn how to use them. There are several common mistakes people make when operating a drone, including:
- Flying too close to people, buildings, or other obstacles: This can result in collisions, injuries, or damage to property. This is a normal sight in Indonesia, especially during events such as Upacara or other large events with a large number of participants. So please stop flying too close.
- Losing line of sight: It’s important to maintain visual contact with the drone at all times to avoid losing control or flying into restricted airspace.
- Not calibrating the drone: Failing to properly calibrate the drone before flight can lead to inaccurate flight data and cause the drone to malfunction.
- Flying in inclement weather: Adverse weather conditions, such as high winds or rain, can make it difficult to control the drone and may cause it to crash.
- Ignoring drone regulations: Many countries have specific regulations for drone operation, such as height restrictions and no-fly zones. Failing to follow these regulations can result in fines, legal trouble, or even criminal charges.
- Not checking the drone’s battery level: It’s essential to ensure the drone’s battery is fully charged before flight and to keep an eye on the battery level throughout the flight to avoid the drone running out of power in mid-flight.
- Overestimating one’s flying ability: Operating a drone takes practice and skill, and overestimating one’s ability can lead to accidents or damage to the drone.
Drone operators can help ensure safe and successful flights by being aware of these common mistakes and taking the necessary precautions. Hopefully, Binusian can avoid these common blunders. Grazie.
