You can fly your drone up to 120 metres above ground level (400 feet).

It’s important you stay below 120 metres so that your drone stays out of the way of other aircraft. If you come across low flying aircraft, you must land your drone immediately.

 Finding all this a bit confusing?

Please consider investing in your own knowledge and skills by undertaking a drone pilot course.
