In Canada and the USA and most other jurisdictions (the European Union being the only big exclusion), Small drones (weighing at least 250 grams) must be registered and flying them requires a pilot certificate. That's why the market has been innundated with "Micro drones" ( 249 grams and below). Simply said, pilots of micro-drones are not bound by the same requirements as other drones, however there is an expectation that the pilot of a micro-drone use good judgment, identify potential hazards, and take all necessary steps to avoid any risks associated with flying your drone.
So does that mean you can fly your micro-drone safely near people or property?
Or maybe you're a small drone pilot that is certified to fly your drone near people (e.g. you're in Canada and you have a pilot certificate in Advanced Operations and your small drone is certified by Transport Canada for such operations)?
