Description
DO NOT DO WHAT I DO IN THIS VIDEO or you could risk a fine under New Zealand's drone regulations. Join me as I mercilessly mock just how out of date and overbearing New Zealand's drone rules (CAR101) have become in 2025. What's worse, the CAA plans to impose extra restrictions in the form of compulsory training for the lowest risk category of drone flying -- tiny 24g drones flown inside your own house.
Here is the NPRM. Read it and make a submission according to your own position on these proposed changes. You might also want to remind them that there are *FAR* more important elements of CAR101 that need fixing before they add more restrictions and regulation.
