    Flying in New Zealand

    Super confused by the drone rules in New Zealand. Saw this video and it just makes me wonder if anyone actually goes to each and every house to ask or do people generally not really care? Does anyone know how they did this?

    California State Parks - Where can you really fly?

    Hi, Since flying drones is not illegal in California State Parks (unless said otherwise in the Park's rules), I've scanned most of the California State Parks website and wrote down any drone reference I could find. Here are the (very sad) results, I hope it will be useful for other drone...

    This is why we can't have nice things - Drone nearly hits passenger plane landing in New Zealand

    I was just reading the latest article regarding a near miss of a drone with a commercial airliner. THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS. It's because of the people who think that it's cool to fly drones within 5 meters of an aircraft. Drone operators should have some common sense, no? This is...

    Congested Area (CAA)

    Hello all, this is my first posting on this forum so this question also serves simultaneously as my greeting to you all. I've very recently purchased my first drone, a Phantom 3 Adv, and I'm rather keen to stay within the rules and regulations - getting shut down serves no purpose to anyone...

    Telling me not to fly there: is he right?

    First off, I follow the recreational flyer rules, I'm FAA registered, I'm not a newbie, I'm certainly not one of those "how dare any person or agency tell ME where to fly!" fools. I also like to help educate the public, including those who think I'm creepy for piloting a camera in the sky, etc...

    Flying near a wind farm? (UK)

    So I have a question - they've just finished building an off-shore wind farm. Provided I keep line of sight, is there any law against flying near to record the change of scenery? I'm talking about staying about 100ft away.

    How close can I get to this castle?

    So there is a castle I know of, you can see in this video I made (at 1:12) that I went close to it but I didn't want to fly right over it. My question is, is it legal to fly over it if it is privately owned? I usually only fly in public places where I know I am allowed so I don't annoy anyone or...
