    Thanks Paul, I use the Drone Assist and here in Cumbria it shows a small Yellow area around Keswick. This is because the RAF use the area for low flying exercises, so low that many photographers get photos from "Above" the planes. I've used my drone in Keswick and up the Borrowdale valley and around the Honister Pass areas. But I have done it at stupid o'clock in the morning so as to avoid any RAF flights. I would imagine that it's the same in the Highlands, my brother lives in Argyll where they also have (very) low flying exercises.

    What I find odd is that Altitude Angel reports the area around where I live (Manchester) as being totally restricted, whereas DJI doesn’t. So I checked NATS and weirdly, the DJI app is right and Altitude Angel is not.

    Hi Paul, some great information that has really cleared up some of my worries whilst flying. I have a question, if you could help me?
    I fly near Tetbury in Gloucestershire and there is a restricted airspace that covers half of Tetbury (to do with HRH Prince Charles' residence Highgrove House). I am unable to find any information as to whether drones 'are' or 'are not' allowed to fly within the airspace. Any info would be really appreciated

    • @paul-thys
      @paul-thys  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Nik, the Highgrove house House airspace is restricted so to fly here you would need permission from NATS

    Hi Paul,
    first of all thank you so much for the video,
    I'm coming to visit London in a few months, and i want to take some footage of the video with my mini 2, so you said in restricted areas we need to ask for a permission to fly, so do you know how to ask those permissions in 3 different London areas: Hyde Park, City of London and the one around battersea?
    Thanks a lot sir!

    Hi Paul. I'm a bit late to the party, but hey ho.
    So, I saw your video and decided to get Drone assist, but I also decided to get an Ipad Mini so I could just use that for the drone and then everything would be together.
    So I bought a second hand Ipad Mini 2nd Generation but the program wouldn't download and was saying NOT COMPATIBLE.
    So looking into it more, It is an Ipad Mini (1st Generation) so I am sorting that out with the seller as we speak.
    So, do you know which Ipad Mini's are compatible with Drone Assist? or do you have a link to where I could find out?
    Thank you in advance.

    CTR is a "Control Zone". There is no such thing as a "Controlled Traffic Region", never has been, it's a nonsense term. :)
