This one is about Airspace - Who Owns ? Can you Overfly ? Can Councils say No to Overflight ? Depends on your Drone for over flight of People etc But this is about over flying Land *********UPDATE*************************** Network Rail Flight Notifications We are pleased to inform you of some recent changes to the Drone Operations Platform (DOP) that streamlines the process for notifying Network Rail of planned flights over, or close to, its infrastructure. When submitting a flight plan through the DOP, users will automatically receive an acknowledgement that Network Rail is aware and has registered the flight. This approach means users no longer have to wait for their flight notification to be approved. Instead, Network Rail shall monitor flight notifications and undertake random audits with users as deemed necessary. We hope you agree that this is a positive enhancement. The railway is a dangerous environment for flying drones and the DOP promotes good airmanship by helping with deconfliction. Since its launch in November 2020, around 2500 flights have been logged and we are grateful to all users for engaging with the process. It truly is a great and popular system for our drone community and is keeping everyone flying legally and safely. If you have any suggestion on how the DOP can be improved further or have questions concerning planned flights, then please email: DroneEnquiries@networkrail.co.uk As ever, we'd like to thank everyone for their continued support and feedback.
