The area surrounding Tingwall Airport is a Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ). A map of the FRZ can be found on the NATS drones website. Further information related to drones can be found on the CAA website.
It is illegal to fly any drone at any time within these restricted zones unless you have permission from air traffic control at the airport or, if air traffic control is not operational, from the airport itself.
Please contact the Duty AFISO to obtain permission to use the FRZ for drone activity.
