    California East Bay Regional Parks District Drone Restrictions , ??

    Thanks, yes I did the same thing and you are right they are not marked. I used b4youfly and two other apps I have to check. I sometimes use an insurance app if I know I am going to be flying in a densely populated area. They do not have any restrictions either, EBRPD obviously hired some...

    Northern CA , Retired US Army Rotary Aviator Hello all,

    Wishing you all a happy new year, first time I have joined a forum for UAS. I have been flying drones since the DJI Phantom series was introduced. Really not happy with what the FAA is trying to pass. Not a good thing at all.
