Notice, Responsible Sharing and Secure Storage
Drone Code points 24-26. Telling people before recording where practical, avoiding harmful sharing and securing or deleting collected material.
How to prepare for the Flyer ID test
Start with aircraft weight, class and IDs, then apply the people, place, airspace and pre-flight rules to practical scenarios before rehearsing the 40-question format.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Tell people before recording when practical and take extra care when direct notice is not practical.
Exam cue: Plan notice and privacy controls before the aircraft is airborne.
Concept 2
Before sharing, consider whether the material could be unfair or harmful and who may see it after publication.
Exam cue: Review backgrounds, bystanders and location clues before sharing.
Concept 3
Store recordings securely and delete anything no longer needed; commercial use can create further data-controller duties.
Exam cue: Limit access, retain only what is needed and use secure storage.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Treating social-media sharing as private because the original audience is small.
Guardrail: Do not confuse Flyer ID with Operator ID, treat a legal minimum as universally safe, or extend points 37-39 into the official test scope.
Keeping every recording indefinitely without a purpose.
Guardrail: Do not confuse Flyer ID with Operator ID, treat a legal minimum as universally safe, or extend points 37-39 into the official test scope.
Assuming commercial imagery has fewer privacy obligations because it is work.
Guardrail: Do not confuse Flyer ID with Operator ID, treat a legal minimum as universally safe, or extend points 37-39 into the official test scope.
