<p>This proposal would ease current restrictions that, in most cases,&nbsp;bar&nbsp;remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) from flying over populous areas and&nbsp;to&nbsp;stay at least 30 meters&nbsp;(about 100 feet)&nbsp;away from people who aren’t directly involved in the operation of the&nbsp;RPA.&nbsp;The proposal aims to&nbsp;allow certain operations over or near people without CASA approval&nbsp;for&nbsp;RPAs&nbsp;weighing 250 grams&nbsp;(slightly over half a pound)&nbsp;or less, or&nbsp;where people are physically separated from the drone by a suitable barrier or structure. Said CASA: “Overall, the proposal aims to reduce approvals for inherently lower-risk operations, provide clearer expectations for industry, and focus CASA’s assessment effort on more complex and higher-risk activities, while maintaining or improving safety outcomes.”</p>
