I would say it depends on what you are doing whilst flying over the harbour. If you are filming or taking photos he has a genuine grievance. You could be infringing his rights under the data protection act etc. Also, you are likely flying over an area that has a number of people, boats, tall structures etc. Furthermore you need to be careful that there is no interference with your signals from boat radar systems, or other transmitting systems. Rather than quoting legislation etc Id suggest an email or a letter to the Harbour Master and offer an explanation of what you intend to do. Reassure him that you are a competent flyer, you obey strict safety guidelines and that you hold the proper insurance and permissions etc. Educating people who appear against "drones" etc is a much better way of gaining confidence in the publics attitude towards our very expensive flying plastic machines. Offer him some aerial shots of his Harbour as a gesture of your gratitude and build a relationship. He can then give you advice on any radio interference frequencies and radar etc. He may also put you in contact with boat captains who may be interested in working with you to purchase aerial images of their boats at see or in harbour etc. Before you know it you could have possible clients to keep you busy and a new friend in the harbour master. Just my opinion. |
