This may have been discussed previously but looking for the most recent information. With VLOS, all videos are obviously not taken within 200m of a park that allows UAS.
I see many videos of people showing areas which have ordinances against launching/landing in parks and recreational areas. So I’m wondering, where are people launching from in these instances?
If you launch from a parking garage or parking lot (car park), I’d imagine law enforcement or security would soon arrive asking if you have permission from the property owner.
If you launch from sidewalks, this also seems like authorities would tell you this is not allowed, even if there is no official ordinance against this. Not to mention if you are within view of any homes or businesses, I’m sure a “concerned“ citizen will ensure authorities arrive even sooner.
So far, I have only launched from parks that I confirmed I can launch from but there are many more areas I’d like to capture that are not within VLOS of a park. Airspace is not the issue, there is plenty of uncontrolled or LAANC available airspace, the takeoff/landing zones are the issue.
Thanks for any advice.
