Think this location is in a flight restriction zone because of a nearby busy private airport, cheers Len
Hi Len, I'm aware of the flight restriction zone around three cliffs. I had been in contact with the airport tower on two occasions prior to my flight and they seemed quite relaxed about it and gave me permission no problem.
It is - right on the extended centreline of 04/22. People fly there all the time as DJI Geo as is common doesnt have it marked but it is an official legal restriction zone.
Its possible to fly there with permission from the tower (note its NOT ATC - the aerodrome currently is not controlled) but yup its very busy especially now runway rehabilitation is complete. I know several people asking lately who have been told no due to the amount of GA circuit traffic.
Probably only a major issue on the rare days they're using Rwy04 where aircraft would likely to be 500-600ft as opposed to departing a/c on 22 which will be higher.
Interestingly, altitude angel is reporting the facility is UTM ready for digital flight plan approvals - i didnt think anywhere in the UK was yet.
Edit to add:- Its a fantastic smooth video though. Nicely showcases the place

Superbly executed in all respects. Inspiring. Kudos!
I used to shoot (helicopter) aerials for Hollywood.
What this video (and the Mumbles) show is the value to going out at the correct time of day for the light.
A lot of this is shot early morning with some late evening. Nice golden hour light and sky colours.
Far more pleasing than harsh midday lighting.

Thanks for your comment. And that sounds like a dream job. Were you the pilot or the one hanging out the side!?
The one hanging out the side. You're right. It was a dream gig.

Frequently froze my azz, though.

That's why drones are so cool. We can do stuff I could only dream of in the days of helicopters. Shots that cost tens of thousands are now effortless.

That's awesome. Anything for the perfect shot right!? Looks a lot of fun. That said i do enjoy being able to get comparable shots with both my feet on the ground and with less of the risk to life aspect!The one hanging out the side. You're right. It was a dream gig.

Is there a way to send private messages on this forum? I have a good story about shooting aerials for Hollywood, but it would clog up the forum.
