I love the look of that, well done.
What location is this? This doesnât seem pretty legal from what I know but damn it looks amazing.
Where was this when you were flying?
Great photo!
Hazarding a guess - was it Weaverâs Fields you were using?
edit just seen the lat/long in the metadata
Nice shotđ
According to the meta data that @Nabbit mentioned this is indeed flown with a DJI Mini 2 right above Weavers Fields which isnât a Royal Park (and doesnât seem to have any drone launch bylaws) with a view towards the city. This is a residential area and within the London CTR and âSpecified Areaâ but this does not forbid flying a sub 250g drone such as the Mini2 in this location.
@Fish is flying perfectly legal!
aka
"That does seem pretty ⌠and legal.
Very nice
@legal_eyes @NewDroneflyer1 @Nabbit @oskarzyg Didnât realize the metadata was accessible! but yes it was in Weaverâs Fields (nice guess @Nabbit !) , tried to find the closest park to the city that was in line for the sunset that day and also wasnât in a restricted zone. Sorry for the late reply, forgot I posted this here! Thank you for the all the comments and likes
When looking for places to fly, I have always assumed that in any council byelaws, âmodel aircraftâ also covers drones (admittedly I donât know why!). For example, some council byelaws only mention compressed gas aircraft are prohibited. Am I wrong in my assumption?
To be fair, I have seen discussions in the past that drone users are allowed to fly unless there is a sign that says otherwise on a given property.
I agree @BombayMonkey ⌠the CAA do say that âAny unmanned aircraft being flown purely for the recreational sport of model aircraft flyingâ is a âmodel aircraftâ. So itâs more what youâre doing, rather than what youâre flying.
Interesting that some councils still havenât added electric power to their definitions yet ⌠!
Iâd say interpret council byelaws in whichever manner you see fit. Donât forget to use the FOI overlay on DroneScene to get exact information from what councils supplied in early 2021 after many of the laws regarding drones changed. As such, many of these council policies are out of date.
As for signs, I would just take that as a you cannot take off and land from this land. But thereâs nothing stopping you taking off from elsewhere and flying over. They own the land. Not the airspace.
