65438+1On the evening of October 7, an explosion occurred in a residential building in Taocheng District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province. The next day, Zhang Man took an aerial photograph of the explosion site using a drone. Results Hengshui City Public Security Bureau thought that it affected the rescue order and seriously disturbed public order, and detained it for 5 days.
People in the drone industry said that from the notified situation, Zhang's behavior was suspected of "black flying." "Beijing time" (ID: btime 007) found that some amateur "flying hands" had some misunderstandings in the identification of "black flying", while others thought that the regulations were too strict, comparable to the hotly debated "1.8 Joule" gun identification standard.
In this regard, Ke Yubao, secretary-general of China Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and director of the UAV Management Office, who is in charge of managing the qualification management of UAV pilots, said that UAV flight is risky and needs strict management to ensure the safety of people, property and other aircraft on the ground.
Aerial photography of detained men or "black fly"
According to the official notification of Hengshui Public Security Bureau, Zhang is a native of Taocheng District, Hengshui City, aged 365,438+0, and is a video shooting and editing enthusiast. 65438+1On the evening of October 7, after learning of the explosion in Jidong Jiayuan in a circle of friends, he came to the west of the community 300 meters the next morning to control the drone to shoot over the scene of the accident and was discovered by the police.
The police found a number of photos and a video from the memory card of the drone, all of which were pictures of fire fighting, public security police rescue and exploration.
According to media reports, on the morning of the 8 th, the scene of the accident was surrounded by a cordon, but Zhang remotely controlled the drone over the top floor without permission, crossing the cordon and affecting police work. Administrative detention.
For the detention of the aerial explosion scene, some netizens think that the practice of Hengshui police is contrary to the requirement of the Ministry of Public Security that the police should get used to law enforcement under the camera. However, Mr. Wang, who is engaged in drone pilot training, has another view.
Mr. Wang told Beijing time (ID: btime 007) that Zhang's behavior was probably an unqualified "black fly". According to the current UAV management regulations, if aerial photography is carried out, it is necessary to have relevant licenses and declare the route before flying. At present, the air traffic control department only accepts applications from operators, that is, enterprises or organizations, and Zhang cannot obtain route approval.
Ke Yubao, Secretary-General of AOPA and Director of UAV Management Office, told Beijing time that if Zhang really belongs to "Black Flying", then he has violated the Basic Flight Rules of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Regulations on the Management of Civil UAV Pilots. At the same time, it is also suspected of disturbing public order, so according to the relevant provisions of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the public security department has the right to take compulsory measures against it.
Previously, there have been many cases caused by "black flying" of drones all over the country, and the people involved were basically punished by fines or administrative detention.
Players spit out the flight rules as strict as "simulation guns"
"Beijing time" (ID: btime 007) noticed that the current price of unmanned aerial vehicles ranged from1000-20,000 yuan, and the overall price was even lower than that of SLR cameras. The price of being close to the people has also made more and more "drone" players. On Taobao, the monthly sales of a certain brand of drones reached 392.
Ke Yubao told Beijing Time that according to the statistics of 20 15, there used to be more than 20,000 drones in China, and now the number will be higher, but only 1250 people have obtained driver's licenses accordingly. "It's basically a black flying state without supervision."
The so-called "black fly" means that the "pilot" has no qualification certificate, has not obtained the flight permission of the relevant departments before taking off, and has not flown in the designated airspace.
In post bars and forums, photos taken by drone enthusiasts are no longer limited to landscapes, and there are more and more shooting themes such as gatherings of relatives and friends and weddings. But the shooting process of these photos mostly belongs to "black fly". Therefore, many netizens are questioning that the flight approval is too strict, blocking the flight route of enthusiasts.
Mr. Zhang, a flying enthusiast, told Beijing Time that drone enthusiasts should know that some areas cannot fly. Such as airports, military facilities and so on. In Beijing, no flights are allowed within 30 kilometers around Tiananmen Square. "Aircraft purchased through formal channels will be locked in the no-fly zone by GPS positioning and cannot take off at all."
Mr. Zhang said that when flying, he would choose the area where there are few people outside the no-fly zone, and the altitude is low, so even if the plane is out of control, it will not cause any harm to civil aviation aircraft and ground personnel. Other than that, I don't have any profitable behavior. "Every time I fly, I have to drive dozens of kilometers, but it is still dark."
Enthusiast Mr. Cheng said that according to the current laws and regulations, individual flying belongs to "black flying" as long as it is not indoors and has not been approved.
"Since they are all in blackfly, why not prohibit individuals from buying? Moreover, the current management regulations incorporate drone management into the management of manned general aviation, just like small planes and helicopters. " Mr. Cheng thinks that there is a big difference between drones and the two. Such a regulation is unreasonable and comparable to the "1.8 Joule" gun identification standard that has been hotly debated.
