Drone operation in Redhook, Brooklyn

[DigitalAli]

Hi, I am Part 107 certified and have been asked By a University to take photos of a local farm in Redhook, Brooklyn. The area is clear to fly according to B4UFly but i understand drones are prohibited throughout NYC.

Is there a way i can perform this task at all? We have permission from the farm.

I dont understand how other people are doing drone operations as a business if city laws are so prohibitive?

Thanks

Most of them are disregarding the local regulations. Hell, a lot of them are disregarding federal regulations.

All of NYC, including the East River is no fly, despite getting all clear in B4UFLY...Most of the city is within class B air space....but even if you were to get LAANC the only legal places to fly are NYC parks mentioned in the link below
