hi all, I’m about to embark on a 7 week trip and hoping to get some flights in of course. On the trip i’ll Be visiting São Paulo, Buenos Airies, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Manila, Tokyo, Osaka and Taipei. If any of you have been or live near these places and have any recommendations for places near to the cities that’d be awesome, thanks!

For Auckland (and New Zealand in general), the important map is https://app.airshare.co.nz/app/apps/airspaceMap/

Japan is a no fly zone, drones are banned
China beware of police etc they can be funny with recordings also mine connected to the internet and grounded me for using fw 550
Taipei was fine for me

The rest I've not tried

Japan is a no fly zone, drones are banned

Are you sure. I've seen at least three web sites that disagree:

• Current Law on Drones and UAV's in Japan
• Japan Drone Laws – UAV Systems International
• 5 Things You Should Know About Drones in Japan

Thanks all, I’m not sure Japan being a drone free country is true but will triple check that. Thanks for the NZ map, I’m not far from mission bay in Auckland so should be fine, many thanks. About to leave Sau Paulo, haven’t really flown here, lots of NFZ’s around me and haven’t really had time to venture due to work. Looking forward to NZ next week after Argentina though!
