Hello all,
Trying to figure out some good places to fly on vacation. From the looks of things, it will be very limited. We will begin our trip in LA. Not sure where we are staying yet, but more than likely around Santa Monica, Venice Beach, or Hollywood. Looking for some good areas around there. I know LAX is close to the beaches, I would need LAANC approval and that's fine. My biggest issue is it seems that these areas or pretty off limits for drones. Sana Monica has a law about no drones on the beaches, beach parking lots, etc. Can't find anything outwardly banning you from Venice, but it looks to be right in the runway path of Sana Monica Airport. LAANC is possible if approved, but if not, then no way.
We will be going up the Pacific Coast Highway to SF. This whole area seems like a no go zone for drones. Between the NOAA marine sanctuary areas and the State/National Parks, I'm guessing there will be little to know flying in these areas. If anyone knows of somewhere legal to fly, that would be great.
SF itself is very iffy. I've never been to LA, but I'm familiar with SF. I have a few areas in mind. Treasure Island is one of them. Also found a good spot near the Bay Bridge, but I'll have to scout it out. I have no interest in flying over the downtown area, I want to go out over the bay. I would love to find a place in western SF to fly too. The beaches are under state control so no take offs or landings, but I'm sure I could find a spot.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
