DronePermit

DronePermit works out whose permission you need before you fly a drone in the UK, and prepares the request for you. Enter the venue and it checks the spot against every Flight Restriction Zone around the UK's 160 aerodromes, from major airports to island airstrips and military bases. If you are inside one, it tells you who to contact, how much notice they need and the deadline for asking, then fills in that aerodrome's own paperwork with your operator and pilot details, drone, times and height, ready for you to check and send. - Airspace check for any UK postcode or location - Requests prepared in each aerodrome's own format: email, form answers, Word form or call sheet - Every request in one place with its status and reference - Reminders before each deadline, and before your Flyer ID or Operator ID runs out - Warnings when a temporary restriction covers your venue - Print any request, or share the completed Word form DronePermit is a guide, not an authority. Always confirm on the Drone Assist map before you fly.
