Having trouble finding a spot for my first flight in Japan. Thought I had the perfect plan. Going out to Lake Haruna here in Japan. It's way outside Tokyo in the Gunma prefecture. Of course, different prefecture means different laws. I decided to call ahead ( Being Responsible ) to get permission for a 20 minute flight for photography. Answer was "NO".
Again, I want to be a responsible drone pilot. Not just for myself, but for the rest of the community as well. I downloaded an app called "Drone Maps". It looked pretty legit. However, after calling Gunma Prefectural office, I worry that lots of areas may not be reporting their red zones and green zones. I think I should also add national parks to my mental list of places not to fly.
So I ask this community. Is there any other app I should be looking at that is more updated than "Drone Maps"? I think if I can find a Drone Club in Japan I might be able to find a new database or safe areas or updated rules.
Sigh.......was so excited about the first possible flight. I even got that cool landing pad thingamajiggy for my Mavic Air to make those beautiful RTH landings.
If you know a better safe fly area database or app please let me know.
If you know of any "Drone Clubs" in Japan, please let me know.
I'm grounded like a BOEING right now and it hurts. Why me? My software is up to date.
