Hi, I'm a new mavic mini pilot and I live in England so am under the rules of the CAA.
I live in a 'built up area' as defined in the drone code, it's a large town. I was wondering what the legality of flying in say my front or back garden would be. Once the drone is in the air, its regulated by the CAA so therefore I would be breaking the law, as you shouldn't fly within 150m of a built up area, but it seems a bit silly that you wouldn't be able to operate your own UAV on your own property. That would be assuming I didn't fly more than 6ft high as then there would be a risk of recording/encroaching on other peoples property.
Are there any other British operators around who have some experience/knowledge on this subject?
