No one is questioning you.

 

It’s you having the mini paddy, not me, just reminding you not to ignore the facts when they are staring you in the face.

you should read the rules of the CAA first there are regulations for flying drones and other aircraft.

As long as you use a bit of common sense you will be ok.

It does make it clear that you are not permitted to fly a drone on Longshaw Estate as suggested by an earlier poster.

 

 

Not questioning your post, but if you fly from a roadside layby and fly over the Longshaw Estate (making sure they are no buildings, people or animals around) at or around the maximum height of your aircraft, how would the Estate stop you. I don't think they own the airspace above their land, or do they.?

It's not a question of how they stop you.

It is against the law.

Again, if you use some common sense you will be ok

It is not against the law to fly over other people property as the rule of who owns the air above only extends so far.

 

To help everyone (public, public flying aircraft/drones and the Police) the CAA have worked on the Drone Code, which clearly states:

 

• Don’t fly near airports or air fields
  
• Remember to stay below 400ft (120m)
  
• Observe your drone at all times
  
• Stay 150ft (50m) away from people and property
  
• Never fly near aircraft
  
• Enjoy responsibly
  

 

 

As for flying over others land: you can fly up to 120m, you have to be 50m away from property (150m away for crowds or built up areas). this gives you 70m of flying over open land where you don't require the land owners permission.

 

But be warned - nuisance laws can kick in if repeatedly ''buzzed' or otherwise causing disturbance (such as cattle or other animals).

 

But as has been said - be sensible and considerate.
