Kevin Gordon, DJI\u2019s marketing man in Europe, explained how DJI is taking a \u2018proactive\u2019 approach to drone safety by working with the UK\u2019s aviation regulator the CAA, as well as the Home Office, police and the military.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Video Mode<\/a>, Gordon said: \u2018It\u2019s critical that people take accountability and responsibility for flying safely, and that we open up a dialogue with the governing bodies that regulate or are attempting to regulate its use\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Right now we\u2019re [on the] fourth generation of the product, it keeps getting more advanced, and introducing better things like no-fly zones, which preclude people from flying near airports, or the intelligent battery system that automatically returns the drone to where it took off from if the battery reaches a critically low stage.\u2019<\/p>\n

Gordon said DJI takes a \u2018common sense\u2019 approach to flying.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re all about education, and we think that these fears [over drones] can be addressed by a robust education programme.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s why we\u2019re doing continuous new pilot training sessions; in Brighton we have over 200 people attending in three sessions, talking about how to fly safely.\u2019<\/p>\n

Gordon highlighted some positive uses of drones, such as for inspecting planes, combating elephant poaching in Africa, and exploring volcanoes in Iceland.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re working with energy companies to inspect their infrastructure, we\u2019re working with transportation companies, railroads… it\u2019s really endless,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n
