Regulations for Spain

[robinb]

You will need to check with the airline t&c's how many you can bring.
The batteries will need to be in carry on luggage.

 

[thousandyard]

I believe you are allowed 2 spares and make sure the contacts are covered securely and they are in your carry on luggage.

Def wont put Batteries in hold!! I was going to transport in Case as pictured and they will be discharged first! Wonder if ill get away with the Wife carrying a Battery Then again ill probably not need 4

 

[robinb]

I guess no reason why she can't carry 1 or 2 in her handbag, as thousand yard said, tape over the terminals slots just to be sure nothing can get in and possibly put something over the power switch which prevents battery from being pushed and turned on.

Thanks for the info, ill get a Battery Bag if I take the 4th, just checked Easyjet T&C

Its funny!, all the hair brain Laws that Spain has imposed on anyone flying a drone in a public place, and National Parks, public places,
and what do they do!!
ALLOW THE POLICE TO FLY DRONES 4 times a day along the seafront of Benidorm !!
(suppose to be watching out for bathers in trouble, yeah right !!) double standards I'd say !!
Come on Spain get your head out of the sand pit and let us responsible drone pilots get some fantastic footage of your beautiful country.
What harm are we doing, apart from getting a fabulous view of your country from a different angle.

 

[robinb]

I have never seen a drone fly in Benidorm operated by the police.

 

[CEEJAY]

FACT !, my mate has lived in Benidorm for 16 years, they will fly most days along the seafront.
Wonder what would happen if we were to fly along the front with our drones !!
DOUBLE STANDARDS

Spanish police try out drones to patrol beaches

 

[robinb]

I am not saying it was not true, just I have never seen one there.

I went to the beaches a lot this summer and never saw one.

Spanish recommendations do not say you can't fly on beach but not near congregations of people.
Ie in winter months beaches are near deserted.

 

[CEEJAY]

Some people would not even realise that they were there, (if they were up 400 feet)
You cannot even hear my Phantom 4 at that hieght

Hi Robin
I read a while ago that you were looking into insurance, I use FPVUK it cost £15 a year covers all Europe

[robinb]

Hi Ray

DO you need a UK address for that ?

Thats really good price as my broker came up a blank here, even though the websites showed they were supposed to do insurance.

 

[teccer]

I wasn't sure but have now just checked, yes you're correct you do need to be a UK resident, so living in Spain permanently does have some drawbacks, good job I split between the countries
ray

 

[robinb]

Yes, I know, its 26 degrees today and the sea is still warm

A real hardship.

 

[teccer]

OK OK I'll give you that but I'll be there soon to enjoy it all, friends of ours are already down there, they have met you before, Peter & Margret in a motorhome, she does the beaches and Pete does the water, a few days ago they were at calpe but have now moved on down a bit

 

[robinb]

I can't put faces to the names right now, though I do so a few wanderers go through my patch.

Well I just about got through Security at Southend Airport! Had a single Battery in the Wife's Bag which got stopped, but when they opened the case looked at the Media player and said that was fine, missed the 4th Battery though! Drone case got stopped and they said they would need to check with Easyjet if it was OK to take onto the Plane :-( Anyway they went off to call the carier and probably couldn't get hold of anybody, so the lady at Security came back and asked if I could show that the Batteries were flat as I did explain to her before that they were discharged and they were within restricted capacity. She explained that the Batteries were not a problem and just wanted to be sure I was not going to fly it on the Plane. Lmfao, who would fly a Drone on a Plane anyway?? Just waiting for my flight and will update with details of my return trip in a weeks time.
