Hi Everyone,
I know there are a number of threads regarding don't take or didn't know the laws etc, this is slightly different. Being a motorcycle guided tour and advanced training business I contacted the Moroccan Embassy in London and asked what I would need to do to get a permit.
I had a call from a very nice lady three days later asking me lots of questions, she had clearly looked at our website and checked other things prior to her call, she wanted to know our route, duration, how I was going to keep clear of restricted sites (Guardian Angel), pilot quals etc.
After she had finished it was clear that she knew very little about the actual law but clearly someone had given her the questions to ask, I mentioned that I was very aware of the law and what was the possibility of getting my Pro in. She said if was going to be a no I would have had an email stating the rules and pointing me to the Civil Aviation website.
Her thoughts, although guarded seemed to be if you apply in the correct manner, respect the laws of a foreign nation, can prove that you publish videos for business that its possible.
So, to my question, has anyone on here ever been granted a permit and if so how did it go?
Please don't reply with stuff like don't risk it, been there had it stolen etc, most of the issues on here are from people who seem to feel that the rights and liberties afforded much of the free world gives us some form of carte blanche to do as we please around the rest of the world and that we are the victims when we are stupid.
For any positive and helpful info I would be most grateful.
Thank you
