A report from Airways highlights the difference between how commercial and private drone users follow aviation rules.
The statistics show more than 70 percent of commercial users follow the rules, opposed to only 51 percent of private users.
Head of strategy at Airways, Trent Fulcher, told Tim Dower there are around 7,000 drone users in their database who were invited to take part in the survey.
"What we've learned is..that business is clearly booming for the commercial drone operators, but the sector's also facing some significant safety challenges."
He says that most drone operators know and abide by the rules but there are still problems with some amateur users.
