It is the same for now here too, but whenever the new rules come into effect, there will be categories with various restrictions.
The < 250gr don't have that much restrictions.
Actually you can fly almost anywhere (not in NFZ of course).
TBH I have flown my MA2 in 16 different locations including national parks, country parks, Royal parks and town parks - flown it nearly 100 times on countless outings and covered millions of feet with it. I have never, not once, been approached by anyone to check my flyer and operator ID's and both rangers and police officers have driven, flown over or walked past me while flying. These new rules, when they eventually come out, won't impact me. There is no real difference between the current drone code and the open category of the new EASA rules that I can see. I can fly up to 400' AGL, up to 50m of people etc, 150m away from built up areas and 5KM from airports. I do all of that anyway. |
