four-wheel-drive Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I can see they could be a problem in the future if people send them to look in your garden only we in the uk would get in trouble for shooting a gun in your own garden just one of the joys of being british.

bluesj Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Does bring up the question though, if someone was to be using one to watch what you are doing on private land (that you have permission to shoot on) would you be within you rights to shoot it down?

Wouldn't have thought so, you can't shoot planes or helicopters down that fly over your property. Drones may be different not being manned. Who is to say you weren't shooting at a bird and your pattern caught the damned thing. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ooops I thought it was a wood pigeon. :( Was it damaging your crop. You can't shoot the neighbour's cat and they are far more of a nuiscance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figgy Private land is private land, you don't own the airspace above it and therefore have no say in what flies within it, unless they are in a no fly zone/controlled airspace without permission. Manned aviation must not fly below 500ft, unless landing/emergency. Unmanned may fly (pending legalities) up to 400ft AGL Permission to film a person without their consent is a different matter though. However you can't go shooting stuff out the sky because of that!

Billy. Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not sure about that. http://www.inbrief.co.uk/land-law/land-ownership.htm Yep. That's why manned aviation is set at 500ft. Unmanned flight operations fall under the CAP 393 and 722 CAA air laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd shoot it down and let them argue over it after the event. Drone what drone where, on my land, ohh no your not coming on here looking for it. It cost how much sir, and you've lost it, expensive mistake best not repeated. Now **** orrf.
