Yorkshire & Humberside Meet - Hull - Sunday 10 September 2023

That should be fine, my flight planning app shows nothing to affect overflying that area at the time you’ll be there. Assuming there’s no delays or problems with the aircraft I’ll see you then, remaining above 1000 ft at all times for seperation.

Ohhhhhh!

You meant literally :smiley:

Best keep my wing on a leash then :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :rofl:

@GreyFive, Just out of curiosity, can you actually see our flight report for this meet on any of your real world flight planning software for real aviation?

always wondered if general aviation actually even sees our flight reports as drone pilots? :thinking:

@DeanoG60, a warning regarding this particular meeting is not shown at the moment on the software that I use but that might change as we approach the weekend, I’ll keep a check on it.

UAS flights often do show up in GA NOTAMs, here are the ones listed on Sunday in the vicinity:

This might require it’s own thread but this is kinda what I suspected. Drone flight reports are not NOTAMs I’m guessing that commercial flights would register NOTAMs but us hobbyist pilots just log flight reports.

Intresting that it isn’t showing at the moment, and to be honest I’m not convinced that it will show when it is actually active. I could be wrong (I hope I am) if it doesn’t show on sunday when it’s active I kinda feel it’s a complete waste of time actually logging a report in the first place… I guess it lets other hobbyist drone pilots know about the intended flight…

Very interesting. Thanks for the insite.

On one particular app if you file a flight plan which if approved will raise a notam

I’m not sure they would :thinking:

Since NATS pulled out of funding / backing the old Drone Assist app a few years ago, I have to agree :confused:

Which app is that, Howard? Are we missing a trick with Drone Scene here?

Yeah, probably :blush:

I thought drone assist did but maybe I got that wrong

Would be good if drone scene did though :man_teacher:t3:

Ah, sadly it doesn’t :slight_smile:

The good news there though, is that Drone Scene is not missing a trick as it too can submit Flight Reports :blush:

Let’s say I do make it over to you tomorrow afternoon, what’s a sensible and realistic altitude I need to stay above for clearance - I’m thinking >1500 ft to be sure?
