York : Can someone please help with interpreting these NOTAMs for York?

Hi,
I’m an experienced pilot of over 5 years and always check for flying restrictions before I fly but Im seeking someone who can look at the NOTAMs for a location I’m intending to fly this Friday afternoon (26th June) or Saturday morning (28th June) as I’m not quite sure if I can or not.

The location I’m wanting to fly is around Skeldergate Bridge, York

This bridge is within three Notams.

Im only flying maybe 60 foot above the water and in a small area around the bridge for a few minutes.

Thanks in advance

You are perfectly fine to fly within any of the currently active NOTAMs here @comedyhunter

You linked to a Google map so please just confirm in looking at the right place here on Drone Scene?

If so, it’s all good, these NOTAMs won’t restrict or prevent you from flying.

As already stated, don’t think any of those NOTAMS should curtail your activity. My only thought would be… City Centre, Weekend, fine weather; Careful not to fly over any ‘crowds’ :man_shrugging:t2: But, you knew that already :rofl:

Absolutely as this now applies nationally.

Fly free and just maintain VLOS. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just be aware that some copper is now free to fly a much larger DJI drone directly into your drone, because he can’t actually see it until his drone is about to crash into yours :joy::joy::joy::joy:
On that point, I wonder if the police have to disable sideways flight ???

You’ll be fine, only crime they reckon is Mon-Thurs 0700-1700 when their drone operations are active

Lets hope the bounders in stripey jumpers can’t read NOTAM’s
