Where can I fly my sub-250g drone in the UK?
Drones weighing under 250g have the most flight freedom without requiring drone training, like the A2 CofC or GVC.
With a sub-250g drone, you:
- Can fly over people, including people who are not involved in what you're doing.
- Can fly in residential, recreational, commercial or industrial areas.
- Can fly at night, but must have a green flashing light turned on.
- Must keep your drone in visual line of sight (VLOS).
- Must not fly over crowds.
- Must keep your drone at a safe distance from people.
- Must not fly above 120m (400ft).
- Must not fly in restricted airspace.
