BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The drone flight will take place over the river Dodder on Saturday 25th of November. Weather permitting, the operations will take place from approximately 4pm to 11pm.
DRONE RISK
The primary concern is the potential for accidents or malfunctions that could lead to the drone falling from the sky, potentially causing harm to individuals below. This risk includes the possibility of injuries from propellers, the weight of the drone, or other associated components. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times in this area. To mitigate these risks, we implement strict safety guidelines, proper training, risk assessments, and compliance with regulatory requirements when conducting drone operations in proximity to people.
