Good article. I wonder if this one's legit near the 'world-famous' Glenfinnan Viaduct? The sign is at the bottom of the post with the 'nailed-on drones'

There's only a yellow warning (fly with caution) detailing a powerline hazard and a railway hazard. No official blue or red zones for miles and miles. Looks like the Private Law has made a decision that crows can have rotors as well as feathers.

An example of this is ACoE facilities, such as locks and dams. There are signs around some facilities that read "NO DRONE ZONE" but contain no legal language. It's easy enough to fly around and above ACoE locations outside of their boundaries, as it's generally Class G airspace, and I've never had an issue with the ACoE or the FAA. More interestingly, the ACoE has shared a number of my aerial photos on their social media channels.

Don't you just love this stuff? You have to spend more time researching than actually flying.

If you look at:

The area comes up as "reported" National Trust site but when I checked this I found nothing. The real answer may appear lower down in the referred article;

Kind of like putting your enemies head on a pike back in medieval times.

Excellent read. Thanks for sharing

I always figure that there are enough places to fly that we do not have to assert our right to fly there, but when people go out of their way to assert that we do not have a right to fly, that it becomes a net neutral proposition for me. Why fly where I know somebody is going to be sensitive to it? Unless I have no choice and have to fly there to complete a job, I just move along. I figure somebody else will be along to educate them or deal with the challenge of interacting with the sign poster.

Because after awhile everybody that doesn't like drones puts up a sign even though it's perfectly legal to fly. At some point you have to stick up for yourself

True enough. I agree with you on that. Obviously my mood can fluctuate and just depends on what my energy level is like. In the case of my nasty neighbor, I pushed back. : )

Why does this only happen in the case of drones. I have never seen a sign that prohibits flying airplanes above a property.

The link doesn't appear to be working, it gives a 404 page not found error. Did they took it down?!?!?!??

They did the same on a summit in Switzerland claiming that you can't fly drones without permission from them which of course is a complete lie according to the federal office of civil aviation

I presume it's up to the owner of the land to decide if they accept drones taking off and landing. If they own the land and don't allow it, there's not much to be said. Flying over their land is a completely different issue and can only
be stopped by statute.

Chances are, you've encountered a 'No Drone Zone' sign and took it at face value. The question is, who has the real authority to post these signs? What should you do if you see one as a drone pilot or a member of the public?

I guess they may have moved it - Google finds it here.

These are to protect wild Dolphins. When I said to the ranger I couldn't see any dolphins he said 'I know where they are, they're under the water'.
