Flying Drones Safely and Legally

When you fly a drone in the UK it is your responsibility to be aware of the rules that are in place to keep everyone safe.

NATS has information available on their website to help drone users in the UK to easily access the information they need about how to fly their drones safely and legally, without endangering others.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also has information available on their website to help people to make sure people fly drones safely and legally.

Follow these steps to make sure you are flying safely and legally:

  • Don’t fly near airports or airfields - it is illegal to fly within 5km of an airport
  • Remember to stay below 400ft (120m)
  • Observe your drone at all times – stay 150ft (50m) away from people and property
  • Never fly near aircraft 
  • Enjoy responsibly

Get Permission

Anyone wishing to fly a drone within the Humberside Airport FRZ must contact the airport at least 5 days in advance and should not proceed with the drone flight until permission has been agreed.

To obtain permission, please complete the UAV flight application form (in Related Information) and email it to: atcadmin@humbersideairport.com
