New pilot in NYC!

[Llobrao]

Was up everyone just discovered this site looking for any regulations in Catskill NY.

I’m new to the drown scene currently located in the Bronx right at the verge of Yonkers.

Any other New Yorkers want to share flying spots close to NYC I don’t have to drive to far to get some flying in without breaking any of the rules

Check out Tibbets Brook Park just over into Yonkers. It's a Westchester County park. I'm not sure what the drone rules are now but I flew there with my cousin back in 2016. We went on a Sunday morning just as the park opened and it was empty. Probably have to pay a parking fee, it is Yonkers after all. Lots of nice aerials.

He's kidding. NYPDs five oh (50th) precinct is a country club. Still, drone flights are prohibited within the Five Boroughs except in designated areas, none of which are worth a dam. Drive up along the west side near the water treatment plant and look for good spots along the Hudson. Nice spots near the Yonkers marina, but stay away from the boats. Van Cortland Park USED to be primo, but no longer since it is part of the Bronx. Great sunsets.

Just breaking your balls a slight bit

100' of altitude and 300' of distance is the sweet spot of learning how to fly. IMHO anyway.

That is true. Tibbetts park is nice. Cross over on the cross county pkwy and head over to New Rochelle, Scarsdale , Hartadale. Beautiful landscaping clear to fly. A few waterfalls as well.

Welcome from Georgia, the Peach State. I was born in CT so I'm officially a Yankee and a fan of NY. I agree with you in the height and distance, it took me a couple months to get over it too, confidence and insurance helps, lol.

I was scare as well until I met with eyeflightdrone he is in the forum as well, we flew downtown Hartford and now I'm not scare anymore. Trust me you have a piece of engineering on your Mavic Air or any DJI product, just keep in mind you will fly high enough so you don't crash and always inspect your area before you taking off for possible obstacles, like antennas or high, have a good one.
