Night operations are forbidden.The remote pilotmust operateonly one remotely piloted aircraft at the same time.The remote pilot shall not operate a remotely piloted aircraft under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other substances that affect his physical or mental condition.An operator protection zone shall be provided on the ground by the operator to prevent third parties from interfering with the implementation of the remotely piloted aircraft, particularly take-off or landing.The operator sets up a security perimeter, adapted to the size of the equipment and protected, if necessary, with the help of people.No remotely piloted aircraft may be used at a horizontal distance of fewer than 100 meters from any person for aircraft greater than 4 kilograms and 30 meters for aircraft of fewer than 4 kilograms, except for its remote pilot and, if applicable, operator of the payload of the remotely piloted aircraft.
