I live near a major Airport. Leeds and Bradford Airport to be exact.
I recently sent a request for clarity on flying in their Air traffic zone. I live approximately 1km from their Flight restriction zone boundery. The ATZ covers a reasonable area and I have watched aircraft of all sizes using it, in normal times. Sometimes the power grid Helicopters fly parallel to the Pylon wires in the Aire valley. Obviously the Nats App suggests not flying there, however iff I do, to observe the drone code.
Now here’s the rub. ATC responded by sending me a copy of a form to fly in the FRZ, which requires approval by the CAA. I enquired again, stating I only want to fly in the ATZ and recieved the same response.
It appears they wish me to seek CAA approval to fly in the ATZ. Anyone else come across this issue. It would mean asking the CAA permission to fly my mini in my garden, everytime I want to fly it. It does appear like this is a standard response?
