Abstract
A drone, a method for controlling the flight of a drone, and a program for controlling the flight of a drone capable of preventing the drone from flying into a place where it is difficult for an operator to visually observe the drone and flying the drone within an area in which the operator can visually observe the drone are provided. A control unit of the drone determines whether an illuminance detected by an illuminance sensor satisfies a required illuminance for the drone to fly, and if the detected illuminance does not satisfy the required illuminance, inhibits the drone from flying in the flight direction.
