thanks a lot. Im a german Tourist who will visit in a few days. Watching these 4 Minutes gave me more clarity than a lot of research did. Im now sure im not breaking any laws as soon as i start my drone. Great Video!
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..
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.
Most councils are open to flying drones as long as you don't fly over people, buildings, and aerodomes (controlled or restricted airspace). DOC will not allow you to fly over national parks. Everywhere else is OK to fly a drone.
I appreciate your comment, but you must have consent about the land you are flying at all times, whether Public lands, like a park or beach. Or you are flying above private land like a farm or house. I have made a video going over the basic drone rules. Even though it is from a couple of years ago the rules are still up to date ua-cam.com/video/dV5IctSvn0I/v-deo.htmlsi=ZcvAIqId94BTP2iI Happy flying
Ill be visiting new zealand for 5 weeks in 2 months and im really thinking about getting a drone before. I dont wanna pay 65 new zealand dollars for every little spot i wanna film
Hello! I will be traveling to NZ in a few months, and I have researched the information on drone use on DOC's website, but you mention the "local council" as well. How does one contact the local council - is there a map that shows the different councils in NZ, or a website you can refer me to? Thank you for the drone information - I just want to make sure I'm doing everything legally!
Hello, @jenniferblakeny1581 great question. You can go to www.lgnz.co.nz/local-government-in-nz/new-zealands-councils/ for a list of all the different councils and regens in New Zealand. Most of the time you can find all the information you need e.g. a map saying which parks, beaches and green spaces you can fly above. if not there should be a phone number or email you and send any questions to. Best of luck, Thomas
If you don't have written or verbal permission to fly. Then you can't fly anywhere in New Zealand. Please see the local council website and follow their guidelines. www.lgnz.co.nz/local-government-in-nz/councils-in-aotearoa/council-websites-and-maps/
Hi. I am in Auckland. I haven’t called council to get a permit yet. the Airway app shows local council contact but it doesn’t show how to. Is there any procedure when i call them? or paperwork?
The best thing to do is go to their website and search for drones. Try looking at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/parks-recreation/get-outdoors/drones-unmanned-aerial-vehicles/Pages/default.aspx You might not need a permit.
To find you local Council website try www.lgnz.co.nz/local-government-in-nz/councils-in-aotearoa/council-websites-and-maps/ Depending on where you want to fly they may or may not have a map
I just bought a DJI Neo. I don't think I would have bothered if I had known about all the BS regulations. I just want to play with my toy but find that even my own back garden in Invercargill is a no-fly zone. 🤣🤣 So far I have only flown it round the inside of my house, is that legal ??%$#@I
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.
@@RichardPerfectKiwi Thanks for that 😀. A few people have mentioned this to me. I've actually passed the Neo on to my granddaughter who lives on a five acre property out of town so I won't bother with it myself. She can use it there and on her travels.

Sounds like a great idea. Just remember the rules are the rules and to get lost of practice before you film somewhere epic!
@@maxmustermann1533 did you fly the drone? any issues you faced?
If your drone is 249g is it classed as a toy in nz and therefore unrestricted ?

how to find the council or the website for the public place in which I am flying the drone?
Try www.lgnz.co.nz/local-government-in-nz/councils-in-aotearoa/council-websites-and-maps/
I’m trying to fly around Muriwai and Te Arai . Unfortunately, they seem to be in regional park zones. Do I need to apply for permission to fly?
If you don't have written or verbal permission to fly. Then you can't fly anywhere in New Zealand.
Please see the local council website and follow their guidelines.
www.lgnz.co.nz/local-government-in-nz/councils-in-aotearoa/council-websites-and-maps/
My drone has 20km range and can fly 500 meters height +
Good luck finding out where I'm piloting from.
Well if it's a DJI drone you need to lookup "DJI Remote ID" which your drone constantly broadcasting...
Thanks for watching bro. Have fun flying and stay safe 💪🏼
Good one 👍
I am living in new Zealand. Do i need Any Pilot certificate for Drone fly?
No, Just check your local council website to and you are good to go.
In australia there ae apps that tell you where it is ok to fly. Also isn't the permissions to fly coded into the dji drone software?
Good point but I live in New Zealand and here in New Zealand we have a different system than our friends from across the ditch😄

Sorry, what is the page with the map he uses to see if he can fly the drone ?

Is it okay if I use the clips shown in the first few minutes in a video of mine?
Hi, Thanks for asking but I am not interested in having my content reused.
oh yeah no worries!

Totally get the frustration, Thanks Richard for you response😃
I can’t believe the Kiwi accent. It’s sounds so bizarre.
Ha ha, Yup that is what happens when you live at the bottom of the world
