Hi everyone
So great to discover this site, ordered my drone, got both IDs and wait delivery of the Mini 5 Pro
First question, I’m really struggling to find local areas to practice, I was aware as I live near small disused airways but have air traffic practice in place their would be restrictions- however the “other risks” section seems to be covering everything nearby, even in areas others have flown, what’s the guidance please on this category, just avoid or use common sense ?
Many thanks

Hi Tim, and welcome 
Yep, common sense is your friend with the “other risks” and “Hazards” layers on Drone Scene. For example, you’ve commented elsewhere on the Souldern Viaduct, which has an “other risk” warning because the area is heavily used by pilots in training. It’s not a restriction and you are allowed to fly there… but a warning to be a little extra vigilant.

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.
And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.
