Okay, we are not supposed to fly over private property, without permission. We are not supposed to fly over people or near them.
I live in town and every flight path involves flying over private property. So, it seemed that a park might be a good place, but people go to parks!
I could go into the country and fly over a field, but that field is private property and unless I go and do research, I won't have a clue who it belongs too! Plus, I'm into aerial video and watching a flight over a field doesn't do much for me.
I'll probably get thrashed for this, but what I do is go vertically, over my property until I'm high enough (but not over our 400' self-empossed limit!) that no one could hear the drone or easily see it. Then I fly around and yes, over private property.
No one owns the air space over their house, although it would be very wrong to hover over a swimming pool at 20', filming a guy's wife! But, if I'm high enough, the only downside to flying over private property is if my P2 does a swan dive and hits someone on the head. I definately don't want to do that! I would love high altitude filming, but that violates our height rule.
So, where do you fly? What do you film? (No beach or mountains here, just flat land.)
