FYI for CT pilots.
Last fall I contacted the local park ranger for the park I wanted to fly and film in. She advised that I need a Special Use Permit and gave me the contact info. I called the D.E.E.P to obtain the permit. When I called last fall, they stated that they were not issuing permits at that time a year and to call back in April or May.
I contacted D.E.E.P today and left a voice message. The lady from D.E.E.P called me back and advised that D.E.E.P. would issue a Special Use Permit for R.C. aircraft and helicopters but drones are prohibited in state parks. She said she wasn’t even sure why, but it was the administration's decision.
She was kind enough to say she would ask again and let me know if there is any change in the policy.
So as of now no drones in the state parks ?
