I understand that we are not supposed to fly over critical infrastructure like power plants.
In our area, we have many small hydro electric generating plants that are the typically unmanned. There are small made made ponds and lakes due to the dams for the plants.
Is there a rule or recommendation of how close we can fly near plants like this? There is a small circle run on the plant in Airmap.io
I am interested in being able to frame an entire pond or lake in a still shot. In one case, there is a small pull off near one of these plants. I would fly mostly straight up about 200 yards from the plant, and to frame the pond, would not be over the plant at any time. There are no transmission lines close by, they run out the far side of the plant.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. FYI, I fly as a hobbyist.
