The use of drones in modern reality : Considered as one of the most innovative and diverse innovations of the century, UAVs have managed to enter many parts of the global economic sphere. With use in fields ranging from film production to farming and precision agriculture, drones have managed to penetrate a large part of the market, in commercial and military services. From quick rush-hour deliveries to pipeline inspections, from cinema to 3D models, from search and rescue to hobbyists, EMSs are proving extremely beneficial in places where humans cannot reach or are unable to perform with timely and efficient way. Increasing work efficiency and productivity, reducing workload and production costs, improving accuracy as well as solving safety issues on a massive scale are some of the pros of using SCMs. The drone is becoming a tool for many professionals (and not only), but its use requires knowledge, experience, respect, prudence and aviation education. With these data, almost every flight, with or without a camera, acquires serious limitations that the operator must know in advance and above all comply with the rules that speak mainly about safety.
