I know that Drone Scene is for UK only, just wondering are the Crown Dependencies of Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey allowed? I suspect not as I can find nothing on the Isle of Man but just want to be sure.
I may be traveling to the Isle of Man for a few days next month.
Had great weekend in the Isle of Man. Have flown at Douglas, Port Erin, Port St Mary and Laxey. Currently at Castletown but can’t fly here without an unlocking code, will have to look in to it for a future trip, the airport 5km exclusion doesn’t apply to sub 250g drones in IOM.
Hoping to get another flight in Douglas this evening.
Off to the Isle of Man again for a long weekend, travelling on Fridays evening ferry and returning via the early morning ferry on Monday morning. Hoping to fly some different places to last year and have applied for an unlock to fly in Castletown where I wasn’t able last year. (Unlock on the basis that the airport 5km exclusion zone does not apply to sub 250g drones, only restriction is the airport boundary.)
For anyone who hasn’t done a custom unlock before it was relative easy to do; the difficult bit for me was drawing an area on the map. I used the CP4 document from the Isle of Man Civil Aviation Administration directing them to page 7 as my evidence. The unlock came through to my account in slightly under 5 minutes.
Had some great weather for this years weekend break, but only managed to get one flight in, owing to extreme exhaustion. On the Sunday I got no further than the hotel bar/restaurant where I spent much of the day watching the cricket on the tv and drinking tea. (OK, I did make a brief a brief trip down the road to the Coop for a pint of milk and some biscuits…)
My flight was around Douglas Bay, a flight I did last year but I had much better weather this year.,
