When I watch TV recently, I often see images from the sky using a drone. When she sees a beautiful image, she thinks "I want to fly it too", but the drone's harassment has become a problem these days, and she involuntarily hesitates. Therefore, this time we interviewed Drone Pilot Shinpei Hayakawa, who handles about 200 drone shootings a year on TV, movies, commercials, etc. He asked a lot of questions about drones.
Can I fly a drone in my yard or in a nearby park?
Image material: FIFO──First of all, please tell us where you can fly the drone. "Whether a drone is subject to the Aviation Law depends on the weight of the aircraft. The place where you can fly depends on whether the weight exceeds 200 g. First, if the toy drone weighs less than 200 g, it is not subject to the Aviation Law. Therefore, you can basically fly anywhere. It's in your yard, living room, or on the premises of an acquaintance. However, drones are often prohibited in parks, so you should check in advance. " ──Where can you fly a drone that weighs more than 200g? "Drones weighing 200g or more are subject to the Aviation Law. Therefore, you can fly in areas that are roughly uninhabited. This is a" no flight in densely populated areas. " Because it is. In addition, it is prohibited to be around the airport, at altitudes above 150m, or around important national institutions. At the same time, it is prohibited by the Aviation Law such as night flight, non-visual flight, drinking flight, etc., so you must be careful when flying a drone weighing 200 g or more. However, if you are indoors, you can fly anywhere because the Aviation Law does not apply. ──How do you know if you can fly the area? "The easiest way is to use the Geographical Survey Institute website. Select the" Information "button on the upper left and select" Information from other organizations "→" Densely Inhabited District 2015 "on the map. A part of is displayed in red. This is a densely populated area, and most of them correspond to a no-flight area. Also, you must follow the rules on the ground even in places other than the non-densely inhabited area. For example, some ground rules prohibit drones on riverbeds, beaches, and parks. Flying a drone on someone else's premises can also be a violation of ownership. There are also rules, so it's not OK anywhere in a non-populated area. "──Is it okay to skip it in my own garden? "It's easy to think so, but if you're in a densely populated area, you can't fly a drone that weighs more than 200g. To fly in a no-flying area, you'll need to apply to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for permission. ──Can you fly freely in any area where you can fly? "There are some prohibitions in the Aviation Law, so you have to comply with them. For example ...- Do not fly at night-Do not fly out of sight (must fly as far as you can see)・ Flying a drone that weighs more than 200g, such as keeping it at least 30m away from people or properties (artificial objects such as cars, electric wires, and utility poles), and using these flight methods will violate the Aviation Law. "

──How much can you buy a drone? "You can buy a toy drone for 5,000 to 10,000 yen. A full-scale drone with a weight of 200 g or more costs about 100,000 to 200,000 yen, and if you make a mistake in maneuvering, you may break it, so it is a hurdle for beginners to purchase suddenly. It may be expensive. There are companies that rent drones, so it may be good to use it to reduce costs. For multi-day use with insurance, it is about 10,000 to 20,000 yen. ──What is the difference between a toy drone and a drone? "A toy drone is basically a drone that flies indoors. Therefore, if you fly it outdoors, it will be swept away by the wind. Also, due to the small battery, the flight time is only a few minutes. Drones weighing 200 g or more are roughly 80 km. Some can fly at / h, and one battery can fly for about 25 minutes. "──How high can you fly? "For drones that weigh more than 200g, the Aviation Law stipulates that they should be less than 150m. Still, they are about the same height as a 50-story tower apartment, so you can shoot a wide range from a considerable altitude." ──Is it easy to control the drone? "I think it's difficult to do suddenly. The first step is to buy a toy drone and get used to maneuvering. It's a waste to buy a high-priced drone and destroy it immediately."
What are the charms and hardships of a drone pilot's job? ??
── After all, the big attraction of drones is that you can shoot images from the sky. "Well, I think the best thing is that you can convey the information of the subject in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, when shooting a factory with PR video for a company, it is difficult to convey a sense of scale when shooting from the ground. At that time, the viewer can intuitively understand information such as "a vast site," "beautiful nature," and "explanation of the location situation" by just inserting an aerial photography scene for just a few seconds. I can do it"
──I was surprised at the video. I think there are various difficulties when shooting with a drone. "The biggest difficulty is that it depends on the weather. For example, when it is raining or when the wind speed is 5 m or more, flight is prohibited by the Aviation Law. Regarding the wind, the wind speed is 3 to 3 on the ground. Even if it is 4m, the wind is blowing stronger than that in the place where the drone flies at an altitude of 100m or more. Sometimes it's hard to stop work due to rain. " "It's my own experience, but when comparing general ground shooting and drone shooting, if the ground is 100, it may be canceled due to the influence of rainy weather and strong winds, so the drone is about 60. That's not to say that it's free time. To shoot a drone, you need to prepare various application forms necessary for obtaining permission, and it is also necessary to make adjustments to related parts. Drone flight Because advance preparation is an important factor. ”──What is the most important thing at the shooting site? "That is, of course, not to cause an accident. It is unlikely that a person will die in an accident with a camera on the ground, but in the case of a drone it is quite possible. A person with a drone of about 1.5 kg falling from above A direct hit on your head can hurt your spinal cord. It is possible that a drone that has lost control may hit a building or the like and hit a nearby passerby. It also has insurance and anti-collision features for the drone in case of an accident. Yes, but that's really an emergency. Pilots are obliged to take maximum safety measures to prevent accidents. "──Finally, could you tell us your future prospects? "I always want to make people excited" as my philosophy. "I want to go here!" "I want to buy this!" "I want to know more about this company" using a tool called drone. I want to make a video that makes me lean forward with a positive feeling. "[Profile] Shinpei Hayakawa, CEO of Drone Enterprise Co., Ltd.
