Relaxation of UAV rules

[Carl Clifford <>]

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones as they are often  
called, for applications such as bird and other wildlife surveys has  
been somewhat limited in Australia, because of licensing problems. The  
Civil Aviation Authority has just relaxed licensing rules for UAVs of  
2 Kg or less. this will make the use of UAVs for environmental  
purposes much more practicable. See  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-01/drones-set-for-large-scale-commercial-take-off/4546556
