Interesting NOTAMs / Flight Reports / temporary flight restriction zones

Hi thanks for your reply, so you will not be able to fly a drone of any class in this entire area? I am new to the scene so still learning the basic terms, sorry,

@paulburgh
No, not while the NOTAM is active. While it is blue its just pre-warning you that the area is about to become active, you can fly in it while blue. Between 18/04/2023 08:45 and 17.50 18/04/2023 the area will turn to red which means the NOTAM is active, and no flying allowed. The one above is now finished, but there is another one coming on Friday for the same area : Friday, April 21, 2023 7:45:00 AM until Friday, April 21, 2023 5:15:00 PM

Just be careful as they are stacked so you need to check details on all for that area. Theres three on there at present covering the same area and have different activation dates.

So if this scheme gets put into other areas of the UK, it has the potential to stop people using drones? I am not saying that life saving blood is not more important, just thinking of implications.

Yes that’s exactly what it means. The more NOTAMS that are issued the less areas we can fly. But remember not all of them create a no fly zone. Some are just warnings of increased activity, some may have just a height restriction. You have to read the text to find out exactly.

Thanks I guess beginners like me makes me to learn more which is good, but also can put people off using drones, double edge sword, but knowledge is always good, thanks for the information and i shall pass the info to a friend, thanks once again

We were all beginners once. And I’m pretty sure we’d all rather have you here and asking questions, rather than the alternative that could end up with you arrested, or worse, people getting injured.

Just so that others get a better idea of the area this NOTAM relates to …

… and the link to Drone Scene …

This Notam showing on Drone Scene is fairly local to me and looked interesting with a swarm of 500 drones. However nothing shows up on Notam Info and the Lat/Long are miles away either in or on the edge of RAF Coningsby airbase FRZ so I can’t see a drone swarm operating there. So can anyone enlighten me what’s going on here.

Two months is a long time too.

If your living in the south & intend on flying sat 6th may, between 12 & 2 pm I’d definitely check your airspace

Intentionally created as a sellotape dispenser.

I thought it was, hence why I got it all wrong earlier trying to create, so I done a load of screen shots then gave up :grimacing:

I blame Wayne :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah seen that today on the app. That covers everything south of castle Donnington!! Like… half the country!!

How many fly overs are there going to be?!?


JUST A REMINDER for weekend

Moved your post to the thread where this is already being discussed. :+1:
