I had a similar experience this past weekend at a local state park. Found the park Ranger and expressed to him that I fly a drone and I would like to ask permission to fly here. He was very helpful and told me that at this time all the parks are a little different and that it would be fine to fly. I also stated I was a very responsible pilot and would never put anyone in harms way. Having a positive experience with this has made me feel a lot better about approaching the Rangers and doing the right thing.

It's the same in the UK, you're absolutely right, I asked a local ranger if I could fly my Mavic to do some filming, the area hardly ever has people there but it's a massive area of beauty, the ranger said they don't allow drones but after talking to him and showing him my Mavic and photographs I'd taken previously at another location, he was quite happy for me to fly as long as I wasn't near people and I'd do some photographs for them,,brilliant :-)

Yes! It happened me living outside of D.C. in Fort Washington MD by the Potomac river coastline. I asked the ranger if I take pictures and videos of the coastline and he gave me spiel I told him I understand, then he said "yes you can". Bro? you are right!

The park rangers aren’t the issue. Sure it’s great to get permission to prevent tickets and fees but the newer software doesn’t allow you to take off in a restricted area. There’s no bypass so it’s rather annoying setup with the DJI.

Two questions 1- the USB connection in middle of controller. Can that be used to connect to iPad or tablet that's larger than holder will hold. 2- I've seen different color of mavic wraps For better visibility. Pro - cons. Yours thoughts.

You also may want to consider joining the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Your annual membership gets you $2.5MM general comprehensive liability insurance coverage. That doesn't mean you can fly like an idiot, but it may give officials a comfort level that you are a responsible pilot. It's a worthwhile program in any case.

Good information. Just have to be sure that you ask the relevant authority. If the AIRSPACE is Restricted, then you need to contact the Controlling authority (FAA, Military , State Police, etc) Restricted Airspace isn't going to be wavered for a single Hobbyist, to get that through you are going to need to be Professionally registered (varies by country) with paperwork:Applications, risk assessment, cooling off periods, or whatever the authority demands (don't forget Processing Fees). . If as in this case, it isn't actually restricted Airspace, but State or local ordinance restricting/prohibiting takeoff and landing on their Property (while complying with visual line of sight operation), some official discretion may able to be shown as demonstrated here. Have fun, fly safe, don't wreck it for your fellow enthusiasts.

Hi Jonathan. You are not alone i the UK getting to grips with the settings but I'm sure we will get there eventually. I tend to think the more I fly the more I will learn. I try to liken it to driving a car. When you first start there are too many things to think about, now I don't think about anything and just concentrate on the road ahead

Great points, and your other videos are so great that I expected this one to talk about HOW TO FLY a drone in restricted areas. This one was more like "How to get permission to fly in restricted areas". As you use DJI quite a bit, I was interested to see your workflow for how to fly, after you've obtained permission, as I find the DJI process cumbersome, especially in cases when DJI specifies a perimeter that is inconsistent with the FAA perimeters.

I'm in Minnesota and have done just like you say at at several sate and county parks: Lake Carlos, Jay Cooke, Three Rivers Parks. Every time it was the same-NO. Sometimes a shudder and a shaking head with the answer. All of the park rangers and personnel I have spoken with have been very emphatic in refusing me. I have always taken great pains to be friendly and cordial but no matter how I present it the answer never changes.

Even though I live in the UK I found this helpful too. I mean, we have loads of country houses, some are private residences and not open to the public, a no no, some are converted into apartments with grounds, these can be flown over, or through the grounds. Some are privately owned but open to the public but can be flown with permission, that usually means outside of public opening hours, early in the morning with permission. Some are owned by the National Trust who ban them outright. Some are schools that may permit flights, usually in the holidays. Some are owned by the local council who in my case, issue permits to fly in their hundreds of parks and forests. Our lack of laws too creates issues, I mean technically its not illegal for us to fly drunk below 500ft! I note that in Norway, it is but in return, they seem to almost reward responsible flying whilst making it clear there are penalties for irresponsible flying and I kind of like that. My own view is, that drones will get smaller, quieter, cheaper and lighter and so safer as technology progresses. I mean, look at cell phones. Bricks in the 80s and 90s and drones will go the same way, we'll one day look back and laugh at the flying bricks we used to use☺️
