    As of November 2024 there is now a new permit system for DOC land. They now classify DOC land into three categories Green, Orange and Red amd although it's a little pricy at $180 per 1 yr for "Green" permits (non-commercial) at least there is a reasonably feasible way of doing it now. "Green" land is pretty much what you would expect, it's the non "special" parts of New Zealand where there are no specific conservation reasons for prohibiting access.

    • @RichardPerfectKiwi
      @RichardPerfectKiwi 15 днів тому

      You can still fly within controlled air-space without any special permits just as long as it's a "shielded" flight. Which means within 100m of a high obstacle e.g. trees or buildings and it doesn't matter which side the aerodrome is. And that there is also some sort of physical obstacle between the drone and the aerodeome which can be the same trees/buildings as your 100m one or something else further away. You still can't fly it over your neighbour's land (without their permission) or any roads (pretty much always). So you're probably ok, assuming you don't live right next to the runway, and don't fly above the tree-tops.

    These rules don't hold up well. Drone does not need to be in sight at all times other wise you can't ever use fpv googles. Permission consent to fly over people is wrong becuase the news captures crowd footage all the time without consent. Filimg people in public is allowed in nz ( option to blur out faces if people request it ). People fly drones at night time for drone light shows so there must be a law which you can apply to do so or plan to do. If you had night vision I don't see anyproblem with flying at night as long as you don't scare people with the noise.

    Hi Thomas. Do I need to submit every flight ten days before that supposed to happen? For a tourist who would like to travel as much as he can, it's nearly impossible to plan this ahead. Plus I do not know the country so I cannot tell in advance where I want to use my drone. I'll be able to decide once I'm outdoor, I see the particular area and I consider it beautiful enough to start filming with a drone but before that, sitting in a room on the other side of the world, I think that's impossible..

    • @ThomasCokerNZ
      @ThomasCokerNZ 9 місяців тому

      I totally agree with where you are coming from. As long as you aren't near an airport or restricted airspace you should get a flight number within 30 minutes or so after submitting. But from experience I can say if you are flying somewhere near to an airport it can take a few days or so. And remember not only do you need consent for the airspace you wish to fly through but also the land you wish to fly above. It can be really hard to find places to fly in New Zealand but when you do and get the shoot it is always worth it.

    So Thomas who actually enforces these laws and how often do you actually get caught, I can literally walk down to pilot bay next to mount Maunganui, people all around launch my drone in to controlled airspace fly over up to a cruise ship circle it go over it and film it while departs then just catch my drone and walk away no one ever says a thing. I don't think laws are enforced at all you ring the council to ask about filming in a reserve or something and they don't know what your talking about and tell you to just do it.

    • @ThomasCokerNZ

      The CAA set the rules in New Zealand and whether or not they enforce them is their decision but that still does not mean it is right to knowingly break drone rules.

    You probably should mention that you need a special permit to fly in National Parks. A drone is regarded as an aircraft and technically is only allowed, with a permit, to take off and land at designated landing areas. Nor are you allowed to fly along or over highways.

    Wait so if I wanna take a cityscape from a mini 3 pro, I need to take permission? Even if I fly it high above (At 120m)?

      Hi, @RiskyMirror6213 Yes you do. in fact, you can only fly up to 120m (400 Feet) if you want to go higher than that you need to get a 102 drone licence.

    What happens if you are flying your drone and people walk under it?

      Hi, Sonny day, Great question. Whoever is operating the drone is responsible for keeping themselves and others safe while the drone is in the air. This could mean giving some distance between the drone and other people or letting them know before the drone is in the air. But at the end of the day, you could fly over someone by mistake without their permission. Simply land where it is safe to do so and go from there

    Have fun flying in FPV! I use VR goggles for a cellphone with the litchi app to fly my Mini 2 FPV.

      I will! And goggles sounds like they will be pretty cool

      @@ThomasCokerNZ they are cool! You can pick up a pair of goggles on Amazon for like $20. I suggest ones that you can slide your phone into, from the top, not the side. The litchi app costs $25. I have a Samsung phone with a usb c cable. I bought a 3ft usb c to usb c cable from bestbuy for $20. Litchi splits the screen for the goggles. It's not like DJi's goggles, but it's plenty good enough.

    You can set the function key on controller to toggle FPV/follow mode to change it easily during flight.

      Thanks, for the tip. That sounds like a great idea
