Flying in Dorset
Bournemouth Airport has a flight restriction zone near Christchurch, and the Lulworth military ranges create danger areas along part of the coast. Some coastal and heritage land belongs to bodies such as the National Trust, which set their own rules on drone use.
We carry out the airspace checks and arrange any permissions as part of planning your job.
