Drone exam · Airspace restrictions

A building owner gives permission to fly from the car park, but the car park is inside an airport restriction zone. What does the property permission not solve?

Answer

Property permission does not solve the airspace restriction. The pilot still needs to comply with the official airport or controlled airspace requirements before flying.

Explanation

Land access and airspace permission are separate questions. A property owner can permit takeoff from their land, but they cannot authorize a drone to use restricted or controlled airspace unless they are also the authority for that rule, which is normally not the case.
