Drone Scene is operated by the Grey Arrows Drone Club.
Its aim is to provide drone operators across the UK with an easy to use map in order to find and share great places to fly.
Regulations are constantly changing. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying the same location.
Drone Scene map layers use officially licenced GuardianUTM™ data to enhance the safety of the airspace by providing access to accurate, up-to-date and relevant aeronautical, environmental, regulatory and drone-centric operation data.
The data is obtained (often in real-time) from a variety of sources, including:
Access to real-time GuardianUTM™ data is provided under licence to Grey Arrows Drone Club by Altitude Angel.
Drone Scene offers users the ability to customise their experience by providing them tools to view only the data and map layers that are relevant and of interest to them.
The list below provides an explaintion of which information is included (and excluded) in each layer.
A collection of marker pins that Grey Arrows Drone Club members have added to the map.
The Crown Estate grant permission for drone flights taking place on Crown Estate foreshore. The foreshore is defined as the land between mean high water and mean low water.
This permission is subject to all operators complying with the applicable laws, statutes, regulations and codes, as well as the requirements of The Civil Aviation Authority.
On occasions, third parties such as Government agencies or local authorities may restrict the flying of drones on Crown Estate land. You should therefore check with the appropriate authority to ensure that no such restrictions are in place.

DJI's GEO Zones are geofence areas built in to most DJI drones. These zones may prevent your drone from being able to take off in certain locations such as near airports, power plants, and prisons. They are also implemented temporarily around major stadium events or other emergency situations. Certain DJI GEO zones don't prohibit flight, but do trigger warnings that inform users of potential risks.
By default, DJI's GEO Zones limits flights into or taking off within zones that raise safety or security concerns. If a flight within one of these locations has been authorised, GEO allows users with verified DJI accounts to temporarily unlock or self-authorize their flights.
In some instances DJI has selected locations without making any determination of whether this guidance matches regulations that may apply specifically to UK airspace law.
DJI GEO Zone types:
DJI's GEO Zones are only applicable to DJI drones.
All flight safety information data and visual map layers (including; airspace data, ground hazards, flight reports, NOTAMs and other risks) are provided by Altitude Angel.
Includes:
Excludes:
Current and future drone flying events, as reported by other airspace users.
Flights of unmanned aircraft around airfields or airports that are designated as 'protected aerodromes' are tightly restricted. Unmanned aircraft of any size must not be flown within the Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) of a protected aerodrome, without appropriate permission.
Contains details of ground-based hazards that might pose a safety or privacy risk, such as train lines, pylons, power lines, schools or sports venues.
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is a notice filed with NATS to alert all airspace users of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the safety of flights.
Contains details of other risks which do not fall in to one of the above categories.
