A remotely controlled flying device is intended to approach and contact a high-voltage overhead power line for operation thereon. The flying device includes a mechanical structure bearing propellers and an aircraft body containing at least a power hub, a flight controller, and radio communication means. An electrical shield encapsulates the mechanical structure. The remotely controlled flying device also has a surge protector or the like designed to locally capture and guide toward the electrical shield possible electric discharges in the phase of power line approaching and/or contacting and to render the electrical shield equipotential with the power line.
