[QUOTE="Hornet863, post: 80456, member: 16018"] Ok I am new to flying a drone (I am a licenced private pilot for light aircraft however) and I am confused re flying drones in the Lake District. I recently enquired with the national trust and the Lake District.org about flying a drone safely and sensibly in the Lake District and got a ambiguous response from the Lake District authority and a terse response from the NT. What I have discovered is pretty much the below... Scenario 1 I can drive in the Lake District in a noisy but car or motorbike, park in a public car park. Strap a go pro to my chest run or walk through national trust land filming as I go, return to my vehicle open the windows and crank up the music loud and drive home. Scenario 2 I can quietly walk to the same area find an out of the way little spot away from people, structures and animals and safely fly a drone for 20 minutes or so taking a few nice pictures of the scenery and then quietly walk home. Or Scenario 3 I fly a small but again noisy plane over the Lake District in allowed airspace etc... taking pictures as I go and can even circle the area over NT land for as long as fuel allows etc...even if there are a load of people below me but..... Only one of the above is deemed a nuisance and dangerous and not allowed on or over National trust land and the others are allowed in the eyes of the national trust....hmmmm [/QUOTE]
