Drones have become an increasingly common sight over farmland in recent years, with many farmers using their own equipment to do anything from taking aerial pictures and videos to detailed crop health monitoring and herding livestock.
But after the chaos that affected Gatwick Airport in 2019 and other incidents involving drones and the public, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the regulator responsible for drones, is keen to clamp down on irresponsible operators.
It has therefore introduced new risk-based rules to ensure drones are flown safely. Failing to do so could result in a hefty fine or even prison.
