Department warning on use of drones during Red Arrow display

by isleofman.com 9th June 2015

Air Traffic Control at Ronaldsway Airport is reminding owners and operators of drones that in addition to the Restricted Airspace around the TT Course, there is a Restricted Airspace in force within a 6-mile radius of Douglas this evening for the Red Arrows display.

It is an offence to fly any aircraft, including drones, within that airspace between 7.25pm and 8.05pm tonight. 

Operators of drones are also reminded that outside of these times it is also an offence to fly a drone over or within 150 metres of a congested area.  A congested area,in relation to a town or settlement, means any area which is substantially used for residential, industrial, commercial or recreational purposes.

Please see photo showing the six mile radius from Douglas. All operators of drones can seek further information from Martin Benson, the Senior Air Traffic Officer at Ronaldsway.
