A burning drone on a country road |
In 2013 there were
15 accidents and in 2012 just eight, the ministry says. Most of the incidents
were reported by manned aircraft and professional drone users.
The true figure
is likely to be far higher because not all incidents are reported, the NRC
points out.
In total, 11 incidents last year involved a crash landing close to
people or buildings
Rules
New rules governing the use of drones come into
effect later this year. A mini drone will not be allowed to fly higher than 50
metres or 100 metres from the controller.
Drones will also have to keep a
distance of 50 metres from people, buildings and other unmanned aircraft. Nor
can drones be flown within five kilometres of airports.
