I have to regularly go through the process to allow me to fly in an authorisation zone of an airport. Its a bit of a faff but nothing too taxing. You need to register your drone on DJI's Flysafe website first and foremost.
You have a choice of requesting authorisation of a whole zone or you draw a custom area within a zone. I do the former as it doesn't ask for an altitude or supporting documents like the custom one does. The downside is the zone request is only 3 days at a time, you simply pick which day for it to start. I have no idea of what happens behind the scenes, but once you click 'request' it gives an answer within a few seconds. It's always been granted. I suspect its simply an auto system that collects serial numbers for accountability should something happen. You have to put a reason in a text box, in my case I've been writing 'low level flight within woodland', but again, I have no idea of how critical this is.
All that said, I'm not sure I'd want to be flying over a football stadium, but I'm not judging as we all have to make our own risk assessment. |
