Traveling with yuneec breeze 4k

Ian in the UK and going to Spain what do I need to consider ie batteries, registration , or is it ok just as hand luggage ?

The batteries are where they can get weird. Do you have a LiPo battery safety bag? Obviously, the Breeze battery is pretty tame but it’s still a LiPo so it is considered a safety hazard. You may need to check with your carrier. You can always ship the batteries to your destination. Be sure to discharge them first. On the Breeze, a flight to about 30% flight time left is a good storage voltage.

• By day, in meteorological conditions of visual flight and giving priority to the other categories of aircraft, unless the RPA weighs 2 kg or less and is flown to a maximum height of 50 meters on the ground.
• Within the visual range of the pilot no longer than 120 m in height on the ground or on the highest obstacle within 150 m of the aircraft.
• Maintaining a suitable distance to obstacles and without risking the safety of people and goods on the surface.
• No overcrowding of buildings in cities, towns or inhabited places or meetings of people outdoors should be avoided if the RPA weighs more than 250 g. For RPA of less than or equal to 250 g, the height of flight on the ground must not exceed 20 meters in such situations.
• Out of controlled airspace, FIZ flight information area or ATZ aerodrome transit area, except those operations that are carried out from RPAS infrastructures, under the conditions established in the coordination procedures agreed by the responsible of said infrastructures with the air traffic service provider.
• In the vicinity of an airport or aerodrome, at a minimum distance of: In the vicinity of an airport or aerodrome, at a minimum distance of:
  • 8 km from the reference point and
  • 8 km from the runway axes and its extension up to 6 km from the threshold of the same,
    this distance can be reduced if an agreed coordination procedure is established with the airport manager or responsible for the infrastructure and the RPA is flown according to what is established in said procedure.
• At night, with airplanes of less than 2 kg of MTOM up to a maximum height on the ground of 50m.
• When using first-person vision devices (FPV), the operation must be performed within the visual range, without the help of these devices, by observers who remain in permanent contact with the pilot.

The dissemination of images of people or private spaces needs authorization from them, having to comply with the regulation on Data Protection, the Law of the Right to Honor, personal and family privacy and the image itself. Likewise, restrictions on taking aerial images must be respected.
