I am in holiday in the Isle of Wight, brought the mini 3 pro, then I find a scary amount of restrictions and 3 airports on this tiny bit of land (geeeeez).
Anyway, I see nothing wrong with flying in this little carved out section on the beach, anyone else?
You have a DJI drone - and it’s the DJI GEO-Zones (as per those you have seen in Drone Scene) that actually dictate where you can take off and fly the drone … and they don’t match FRZs and other UK CAA rulings on where you can legally fly.
Both need consideration … and Drone Scene is correct on the DJI GEO Zones.
Even though they are Airports they don’t seem to have Red flight restriction zones around them. They are warning zones just warning you that they are there and not preventing you from flying. DJI on the other hand you’ll need to unlock your drone to be able to fly there even though it appears to be perfectly legal.
The isle of wight have a lot of restrictions for drones if you go on the islands web page there is a local done flight test to do with the council, I did think of doing last month when I was there, but didn’t bother in the end and left my drone at home
Just been going thru the council web site it looks like you may just nerd the currant CAA regs/drone code, this information has been updated since I made the inquiry, so hopefully you are good to go but plz have a quick google
The IOW doesn’t have any airports, but it does have three airfields which are very busy, particularly at this time of year. It also has two prisons just outside Newport which house some very undesirable people. In addition, at this time of year the Island sinks about six inches due to the incredible number of visitors it gets, all wanting to go to the beach and/or the visitor attractions. Having said that, I had a most enjoyable morning last week flying my drone near Wootton station filming the steam railway.
Bottom line, check out Drone Scene, follow the rules and keep an eye out for people. But most of all, enjoy your flying.
