UK issues drone code

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/11/caa-drone-code-rules-2016-2/

"To make things a little easier for pilots to remember, the watchdog has come up with a mnemonic aid as follows:
  • Don't fly near airports or airfields
  • Remember to stay below 400ft (120m) and at least 150ft (50m) away from buildings and people
  • Observe your drone at all times
  • Never fly near aircraft
  • Enjoy responsibly
While you can't help but feel the CAA stopped trying by the time it got to the letter "O," there's no doubt that some drone pilots could use some common sense.
Earlier this month it emerged that airline pilots reported four near misses with drones in a month, including one flying near London's Shard and another at Liverpool airport"

I hope people get the message.
