Question 5

No Drone Zone

Answer 5

The operating restrictions for a No Drone Zone are specific to a particular location. You can find out if there are airspace restrictions where you are planning to fly using the B4UFLY mobile app. In some locations, drone takeoffs and landings are restricted by state, local, territorial, or tribal government agencies.

It is important to note, these No Drone Zones only restrict taking off or landing and do not restrict flight in the airspace above the identified area.
