cheers

Why’s dronescene & drone assist so different?

Because DroneScene defaults to not show Class-D Airspace (but that layer is available to be switched on) … since it doesn’t impact our flying below 400ft.

yeh that’s the problem I’ve been having thinking am I ok to fly these places

I flew yesterday near Edinburgh.

However, there were moments:


This is near Carlops, in the Pentland Hills.

Apart from following the Drone Code in general, and specifically avoiding the prison and the airport, there are lots of place to fly around Edinburgh…

Napier University from Craiglockhart Hill (West):

Hermitage of Braid, near Morningside:

The two Forth road bridges:

And you can see my film of a flight near The Braids here:
