Title: Uncertain visitor from germany
Post by: philippowitsch on July 09, 2017, 19:18:42 PM
Hi together,

next week i gonna visit your great country and i will bring my mavic pro with me to generate great footage from your country.
I know the standard-flying rules from the IAA and i am beware of data protection questions and i know that i don`t have to register my mavic pro. I am visitor an i like to take private shots an private videos. Nothing commercial or for profit or for youtube...Just for me. So far so good.

But at the moment i am a little bit scary and confused about the rule from http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/    "PLEASE NOTE: THE USE OF DRONES IS NOT PERMITTED AT NATIONAL MONUMENT SITES."

What does that mean? I understand, if i am not allowed to fly over a national monument. But i would like to know if its ok to take es specific distance to a national monument, for example 100 meters. That would be ok for me. Can any one help me with that question?

An other question is, that i am not sure if i can fly at the cliffs of moher or on other cliff-hotspots in ireland. At the moment i will come to ireland during the bird nesting season....If i won`t fly next to a bird colony owuld that be ok in Irland?

Thank you so much for your answers!!!

Oh boy!

I only see this now!!

Well, I know it is waaayyy too late and impolite, but I hope you had a good stay!

To answer your question, yes, you need registration with the IAA, and of course, flying in public places without permission is forbidden.
