Mini 4 Pro Kerkyra - Corfu

[Jatekman]

Dear all, we spent a few days on the beautiful „Green“ island Corfu in Greece - here my impressions.

The lovely island is about 60*30 km and all interessting places can be easily reach with a car.
The capital city called Kerkyra is a beautiful place full of historic places, nice shops and restaurants - and cats

Lean back and enjoy, feedback welcome.

Hi, did you apply for permits to fly with the HCAA?

I heard there are flight restrictions in some of the most popular places. NFZ for the capital Corfu town since it's so close to the airport.

Possibly restrictions near the Paleokastritsa area.

 

[Jatekman]

Yes, Corfu Town is near to airport and for this reason I made a request to fly - you have to supply the coordinates from the flight area, the max height and the date of flight.
Before flying you have to get permission by telephon call.

The Greece administrations are very cooperatively and the hole procedere lasts only a few days.

You have to call when flying near the airport but for other parts of the island, particularly the west and northern coastal areas which are further away from the airport, did HCAA give you written approvals?

 

[Jatekman]

The very north at Cape Drastis is a free area, about the area at the west coastal I am not sure if you need permit.
I guess if you get near the airport permit, then should other not so sensitive areas also be possible.

Hi, I'm going to visit Greece, including Corfu, in a couple of weeks.

When you say Cape Drastis is a free area, you mean that in the Drone Aware GR map, it's not shaded in yellow, so there aren't any restrictions?

You didn't request permission for these clear areas on their drone map, only for the Yellow areas?

 

[Jatekman]

Yes, for clear areas you don’t need permission.
Last time I made a request for free areas and the answer was - „For free areas is no permission needed“.

Only permission I needed was for Kerkyra Town because the airport was to near but it was possible to fly there.

Have fun in Greece and show us some good places

Ciao Rob
