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.
