I live a couple of miles from a airfield and it is OK to fly but recently my area has turned orange. Apparently I am in a temporary NOTAM area. If I am careful is it still OK to fly
Which airfield? Which NOTAM? Easier to comment with this knowledge.

Itâs around Yeovil/Westland Aerodrome Yeovil, Somerset.

I have a question too, do you use DroneScene?

Yes thatâs the one. It was a temporary NOTAM several weeks ago. It was discontinued and now come back again.

I get my information from Drone Assist.
Itâs only, as it says, a âNavigation Warningâ - so no restriction in place.

Whatâs a Ground Transponder.
At a guess - something âwirelessyâ/âradioyâ.

An airborne one tells the location of an aircraft.
A ground based one might be one thatâs being tested??
If you are wondering if it will knock out your droneâs GPS/control - thereâs no way of knowing. But in all the years of such âwarningsâ Iâve not heard of one thatâs actually downed a drone.
Of course, first times can occur ⌠but it wouldnât stop me flying.

Our own Dronescene is far superior and as youâve found support is pretty good too (try get an answer from that other lot)

Iâd say excellent, first class

My guess is, if youâre an aircraft flying in the area and see another spurious aircraft on your instruments, it may be safe to ignore it.
Reading this back to myself, it sounds unsafe 
Count yourself lucky! Bloody huge temporary FRZ has just popped up over Swindon

Could colour blindness be used in mitigation?

No longer strapping on the 737s, so not as âconnectedâ as before.
