Neither is he allowed to help anyone else use a drone.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson flew an unmanned drone over buildings in congested areas, or where he had no direct line of site of the drone \u2013 as required under rules laid down by the UK aviation regulator, the CAA.<\/p>\n<p>Incidents included flying a drone over Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, the iPro Stadium in Derby, the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and Emirates Stadium in London \u2013 all on match days.<\/p>\n<p>Police also discovered he had flown a drone over, or near, famous London landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and the Shard.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was convicted at Westminster Magistrates Court, which heard he had used the drone flights to shoot videos for uploading to YouTube, according to the Press Association.<\/p>\n<p>His defence lawyer Susan Bryant described her client \u2013 who is reported to be a security guard \u2013 as a \u2018hobbyist\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Bryant added: \u2018It was something he put a great deal of time into, in terms of improving his skill.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>This is the first prosecution to be brought by the police and Crown Prosecution Service.<\/p>\n<p>The CAA has previously brought two successful prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>Chief inspector Nick Aldworth, the Metropolitan Police\u2019s lead officer on the misuse of drones, said on 15 September: \u2018As drones become more widely available, it&#8217;s important that anyone using this type of small aircraft understands that there are strict regulations on how and where they can be flown, and that police, in partnership with the CAA, will look to prosecute anyone who does not follow these rules.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018Flying drones over congested areas or buildings can pose great risks to public safety and security, and Wilson put many people in real danger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Today&#8217;s outcome should serve as a warning to anyone thinking of doing similar that they could end up in court if they ignore these regulations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), said: \u2018As this case shows, anyone flying a drone needs to understand that there are safety rules in place which have to be followed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018These rules are there to protect the safety of the general public and other airspace users.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is clearly not appropriate to fly a drone over large crowds of people or close to buildings and the CAA will continue working with the police to ensure these safety rules are upheld.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under articles 166 and 167 of the Air Navigation Order, anyone flying a drone must:<br \/>\n\u2022 Keep the drone within &#8216;line of sight&#8217; at all times, that is no more than 400ft vertically and 500m horizontally<br \/>\n\u2022 Take responsibility for avoiding collisions with other people or objects \u2013\u00a0including aircraft<br \/>\n\u2022 Not fly the drone over a congested area (streets, towns and cities)<br \/>\n\u2022 Not fly the drone within 50m of a person, vehicle, building or structure, or overhead large assemblies of people, such a spectators at sporting events or concerts<br \/>\n\u2022 Obtain permission from the Civil Aviation Authority to use a drone for any kind of paid work or commercial activity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more information about the rules for flying drones, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caa.co.uk\/\">www.caa.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A drone enthusiast who flew his device over Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and football stadiums has been banned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":47708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-61131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
