Core principles

Safe flying begins before launch

This page sets out general principles. Specific competitions and events are governed by approved regulations and organiser instructions.

01

Flying-site preparation

Before flying, assess the area, its boundaries, possible obstacles, access by bystanders and conditions that may affect safe operation.

02

Model condition

The model, control system, power source and other critical components should be checked before launch. Known faults should not be compensated for through risky operation.

03

Flying discipline

Participants should follow organiser instructions, remain within the designated flying area and respect launch order and directions from responsible officials.

04

Youth activities

Activities for children and teenagers should include appropriate supervision, clear rules and risk controls suitable for participants' age and experience.

UAL

Safety is a shared responsibility

If you are organising an event with UAL, flying-site rules and operating procedures should be clear to all participants before activity begins.
