    Flying drone in Edinburgh

    How did you find the A2 C of C? Was it useful? I had a PfCO so have already have had my fill of exams but was wondering if it would be worth getting it in case my work needs me to fly something bigger than the Mini 2.

    Flying drone in Edinburgh

    Yeah, I was up at 5am on the weekend to get some dawn shots - saw a police van go past and thought it was for me. It was a real relief when they drove off (even though I am flying completely legally), I always feel a bit naughty now that I am flying the Mini 2 rather than the MP.

    Flying drone in Edinburgh

    Please keep us apprised what they come back with - although I am sure it will lead to a tightening of rules! I think the thing about CAP 722C is that it may lead to Councils trying to establish FRZ's over city centres for even sub 250g drones. Although I believe that a TOAL app is being...

    Flying drone in Edinburgh

    Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster. I’m in Edinburgh and have just gotten the Mini 2. I’m looking to do recreational and maybe some stock footage capture. I had PfCO in the Isle of Man but it’s expired (and not valid in the UK anyway). Looking at the NATs app and reading the new...
