Flying in Central London

Hi all,

Will try to keep this short, but I’m confused!

We’ve been asked (by Partner’s Sister) to shoot a video of their property, which is for sale.

  • It’s in Central London, pretty much opposite the Imperial War Museum.
  • Estate Agent wants a drone shot “coming over the Museum, down to the door”.

I am at the early stage of working through the A2CofC, and have a Mini 2, and Mavic Air 2.

It’s a freebie, but we’d have insurance, and would use the Mini 2.

I’m very confused about whether it’s even possible for us to do (assuming I’ve got the A2CofC by then), given the FRZ, which seems to be from ground level up to 99,900ft!

Is it possible? I assume the GeoLock will prevent me even taking off? What’s the process for temporarily removing the GeoLock? If I need 3rd-party permissions, would they even entertain it with the A2CofC?

Good to Fly says I’m OK, but I assume the FRZ trumps that?

Appreciate any input, even if it’s just “Don’t even bother”! We’re not prepared to do anything illegal, or that brings the scene into disrepute.

Thanks,

Adam.
