10.6.3 Security
Operating any type of aircraft can be a lot of fun. However, nothing can ruin your day at the park faster than getting into an accident or running afoul of the law. We want you to have a great experience, so please be sure to do the following:
- Follow all local laws and regulations. In the U.S., for example, current regulations require you to operate most drones below 400 feet from the ground, within line-of-sight, and away from obstacles and populated areas. As these regulations vary from place to place, even within the same country, make sure you understand what you need to do to stay compliant;
- Never operate the aircraft or software in a manner that could be dangerous to yourself, others, or property. A propeller can easily cut you while spinning; it could cause injury if the UAV lands on a person or object; and a UAV caught in a power line could cause a power outage. As Ben Franklin said, " an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure ";
- Always keep in mind that software and hardware failures happen from time to time. While we have designed our products to minimize such problems, you should always operate with the understanding that failures can occur at any time without warning. You should therefore take appropriate precautions to minimize the risk in the event of a failure;
- Never use software or hardware on manned aircraft. The software and hardware we provide may only be used with unmanned aerial vehicles.
