I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission requirements unknown.
The park adjacent to the minster is owned by the minster and they have signs saying no drones. I flew from the street by the front entrance and was able to fly and maintain VLOS. the parking marker I have placed
on Bootham Row is free before 8am which is handy as it's a 3 minute walk if that to the Minster. I flew early in the morning (7.15) hoping to get sunrise. (the weather had other ideas) there are lots of carparks in the city, but be aware this is a tourist area and during the day gets very busy.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 09/11/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
Early morning flying is not going to be so easy for us as we are staying 2 miles out on the eastern side, and aside from cycling in it’s unlikely I’ll want to run in with my drone bag (although I suppose I could …)
