Obtaining Consent to Fly Over People

In plain language

Before flying directly over anyone, even in a public park, you must get their clear permission, which can be either spoken or written.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ states that operators must obtain explicit verbal or written consent from any person they plan to fly over, including when operating in public spaces.

Original regulatory text

An operator must obtain explicit consent from any person that an RPA operation will take place over, including in public spaces (such as a park). Either verbal or written consent is sufficient.
