As droneshave been increasingly popular, let’s see what funny and crazy things peoplehave done with their drones.
Claire:all right. Let’s start with something romantic. It is said that any holiday canturn into a romantic lover’s day in China. 520 sounds like I love you inChinese. Think about it. A drone carries the wedding ring during the wedding ceremony.
Nick:That’s really a romantic idea! I think I could range it in my future wedding too,haha.
Claire:looking forward to the state of art wedding in the near future. Any other funnystories about drones?
Nick:there is Orville the Drone Cat.
Claire:sounds like a quite famous cat.
Nick:It is a dead domestic cat stuffed and mounted on a drone. The poor cat wasstruck to death by a car and its owner Jansen had it stuffed and mounted on hisdrone, hoping its spirit could take to the sky.
Claire:isn’t it quite werid?
Nick:it is. That is how populare drone is! Ok, here is another not so creepy one. Iknow a guy who spent 600 days traveling around China with his drone. His nameis Zhang zhijie(张智杰), fromHenan Province. He quitted his job and hit the road with his only drone pal. Hegot splendid photos of rivers and mountains from birds’ eye view. Incredible,isn’t it?
Claire:Yes, and travelling with a drone is becoming a trend. Aerial photograpghybecomes very popular now. Don’t forget. It’s necessary for travelers to checkthe related regulations before operating the drone.
Nick:Many areas such as airports, government sites and other national securitysensitive locations are strictly prohibited to fly over.
Claire:sure. Since drones are so accessible now. A UAS pilot, or a drone pilot, hasalready been recognized as a pilot internationally. A pilot in aviationindustry should shouder responsibilities, taking care of the flight andavoiding any kind of danger to the people and property on the ground. Let’slist some other tips about how to fly responsibly.
Nick:first of all, read the instructions from the box.
Claire:and then, register your drone. If your drone is 250 g or more, register itbefore you have a go with it.
Nick:the website is uas.caac.gov.cn. It is quick and esay to get your droneregistered.
Claire:10 minutes, then you are ready to go.
Nick:flywithin VLOS, visual line of sight. If you need to fly BVLOS, beyond visual lineof sight, you need to get a UAS pilot certificate.
Claire:by the way, VLOS is 500 in length and 120 m in height from the pilot.
Nick:then, always keep away from airports and sensitive areas. But how do I know Iam within a sensitive area?
Claire:use the cloud system. In the system, you can find the information you need tofly safely and responsibly. There are 7 certified UAS cloud system providers inChina. U-cloud is the biggest one the first ever cloud. On it, you can have thedetailed information of restricted areas, no fly zones, and you can even get atailored insurance.
Nick:Drone management can be a real big challenge for autorities around the world.
Claire:Indeed, as the drone market is booming, government, organizations andindividuals will work hand in hand to fly safe and keep safe.
