Interesting NOTAMs / Flight Reports / temporary flight restriction zones

It’s all a bit confusing…

On dronescene /drone assist it says ’ An area that the regulatory authority has declared to be a no fly zone for drones. ’

On the DJI Fly App map it it’s classed as an Enhanced Warning Zone but not Restricted Zone which means you just acknowledge the pop up warning message when taking off.

I wouldn’t pay to much attention to the DJI Bullshit NFZ garbage. Dronescene is accurate to the UK law with FRZs :+1:t2:

I’ve emailed the CAA for clarification because it appears to me DJI are classing most of this area unrestricted when it clearly shows on dronscene/drone assist it is restricted.

DJI and reality rarely tie up. Ignore DJI at all times … except for unlocking.

Wrote this a long time ago - worth reiterating (and updating for the advances in Drone Scene … and the fact that NATS stepped aside from Drone Assist).

Perfect, which answers my question and what I was suspecting… Thank you. :slight_smile:

Having a 10 minute break from work thought I’d have a look in Dronescene
SAR mission going on at Ben Nevis :frowning_face:

Underslung loads could also mean Chinook helicopters?

Edit Actually no, just seen it states civil aircraft. Could possibly be works going on?

It’s gone now!!! I should have taken a screengrab.
Just to the south of the choppers moving things there was a NOTAM advising all aircraft to please keep clear of the area for SAR teams, I swear it was there :rofl:

It could have well been… I’ve seen NOTAM’s out in the Solent when the AW-139 is carrying out low level winch training.

We normally have a whinge about the DJI made up maps but at least this year they have flagged the Bournemouth Sea front as restricted for the up coming airshow.

I take it the event organisers must have contacted DJI?

Who remembers the idiot last year who was flying a Mini 3 as aircraft were flying by at very low level claiming to police it was just a toy when it was seized… :roll_eyes:

Was that the guy sitting on the beach? :thinking:

That was him!

There isn’t a big enough facepalm emoji suitable for that.

Surely they cant pretend “oh i didnt know”.

They need to have the book thrown at them. Hard.

National Parks here use underslung loads to bring rocks for the path etc up to the higher areas to maintain them.

One for south Hampshire people.

I might drive down there and see if I can see what’s happening. :smiling_imp: (… other than it’s a tad early.)

If Im correct this is the same op where a huge swath of water between Lee-on -Solent to Calshot was coloured in blue a number of month back on two occasions but in the early hours of the morning.

Interesting recreational up and coming flights straight across into the City of London restriction zone. A proper one, not a made up DJI Micky Mouse map!

I would be more interested in those mushrooms springing up around the Tower.

Yeah, I didn’t know Flint Towers were shaped liked mushrooms?! :joy:
