That's great about the off season permit. Who did you email at the Town Of Oyster Bay?

I tried emailing the town of oyster a while ago and got no response would it be possible for you to send me a copy of that permit form that you got?

 

[projectarjun]

Same, I never got an email response other than an automated reply that she was out of the office earlier this year, any update?

 

[JOHNVOSS]

If anyone wants a copy of the application send me your email and I will send it to you. I don't think the attachment works.

 

[projectarjun]

Thank you

 

[JOHNVOSS]

Were you able to open the attachment?

Oh, and the actual permit was sent to me by Michael Papa.

Confirming that it works, cheers ?

do we have to go in person to submit this form?

 

[JOHNVOSS]

I was able to email it to Tina at the email address above but she seems to have gone missing. You can try emailing it to [email protected] or just mail it or take it in person. Whatever works. Include a copy of your AMA membership card also.

I have a Town of Oyster Bay update here:

Town of Oyster Bay, Long Island, Bad News/Good News?

First the bad news: The ToOB has a new permit application form which now requires specific flight information even for Seasonal (10/1-4/30) flights. The old permit only required specific flight info for Non-Seasonal flights, The good news (maybe): The ToOB code for UAS is in Chapter 231. Under...

Let's do it - first weekend of August ?

I just dd some research about Short beach, Long Beach , including all Suffolk county parks. I called the Grounds and parks in Sayville. You have to register your drone, and then get a permit to fly at the beaches. I have a mini 2. You can't register it. Basically it means mini 2, small toy drones cannot fly at our parks and beaches.

[JOHNVOSS]

You are misinformed. You do not Have To register your mini2 because it weighs less than 250 grams but you absolutely Can (and should) register it.

In the interest of accuracy I should add :
FAA registration is not Required if the drone weighs less than .55 lbs And is flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers

 

[JOHNVOSS]

We might have a new place to fly. Cow Meadow Park in Freeport has just been returned to Freeport Village ownership from Nassau County. I've searched the Village code and cannot find any references to drone or UAS so it appears that it will be OK to fly there.

On a side note, I now have my Suffolk County permit so I'm good to go at the specific Suffolk County parks listed on the website with my Mini 2.

Sweet another place to add to my very limited “places to to fly in LI list”

Here’s my latest flight,

I would love to get a small drone to document where I go on my motorcycle. It seems impossible to learn how t use it here on Long Island. Is it even possible to start in your back yard if you keep it low?

Or are there any recommended places with large open unpopulated fields that would allow someone to learn?

Yes, there are plenty of places on Long Island where you can fly to your heart's content. One that I found especially good, is Stillwell Woods Park, north of Jericho Tpke. On S. Woods Road in Syosset. Plenty of room there, and in the off season, there's nobody there at all. I found a dead end street where I was able to fly over the Huntington Lighthouse, and there's a nice spot just north of the Long Beach Long Island Rail Road station. Another is on a little island just before you enter Captree State park. Don't go over the bridge into the park. It's the only street on Captree Island, and it's not inside the park itself. Another at Point Lookout. Take a look at Google Maps or any map of Nassau and Suffolk. You'll find dozens of spots, and yes, you can fly out of your own back yard, if you check it out on Kitty Hawk of one of the other drone map apps.

Thank you for the reply. When I have a chance I will try all of your suggestions. Just bought a Mavic Air 2 and got the Suffolk Count permit. Flew in Gardner park last week, and now plan to explore other areas.
