Amazon is working in, among others, the US, the UK, Austria and Israel on different vehicle designs that can deliver a package within 30 minutes after ordering it. This function called Amazon Prime Air can deliver packages up to five pounds (around 2.3 kilograms). When an order is placed a worker in an Amazon warehouse picks the desired product an places it on a conveyor which brings it to a drone. The package is then loaded into the vehicle and the vehicle takes off to deliver the order. At the destination the drone will look for the special Amazon landing mat to drop its order. The look and characteristics of these drones will continue to evolve over time to discover how best to deliver packages in a variety of operating environments. The drones will operate at speeds up to almost 100 kph at an altitude of 100 meters. The current drones have a range of 15 miles (around 24 km).
There are no clear rules for autonomous drones stated in the legislation of the netherlands, therefore the rules for professional use will be used as rules for the autonomous drones.
In the legislation drones are divided in light drones which weight up until max 4 kilogram takeoff weight, and heavy drones which weight up until 250 kilogram takeoff weight. For packaging drones the focus will be on the light drones. The drone always need to give priority to all other air- and land-traffic when they are approaching. They also need to fly in daylight and may not fly in the dark. The drones may not fly higher than 120 meter and need to have a minimum distance from crowds, compact building density, artworks, harbors, industrial areas, railways, public roads, vessels and vechicles of 50 meters. There are also No-Fly-Zones in the netherlands were no drones are allowed to fly. As you can see are the No-Fly-Zones mainly in big cities and airports. The red area's are the the No-Fly-Zones for the drones.

Rules professional use of drones

There are no clear rules for autonomous drones stated in the legislation of the netherlands, therefore the rules for professional use will be used as rules for the autonomous drones. In the legislation drones are divided in light drones which weight up until max 4 kilogram takeoff weight, and heavy drones which weight up until 250 kilogram takeoff weight. For packaging drones the focus will be on the light drones. The drone always need to give priority to all other air- and land-traffic when they are approaching. They also need to fly in daylight and may not fly in the dark. The drones may not fly higher than 120 meter and need to have a minimum distance from crowds, compact building density, artworks, harbors, industrial areas, railways, public roads, vessels and vechicles of 50 meters. There are also No-Fly-Zones in the netherlands were no drones are allowed to fly. As you can see are the No-Fly-Zones mainly in big cities and airports. The red area's are the the No-Fly-Zones for the drones. No-Fly-Zone.png source: www.rijksoverheid.nl
