The drone flight restriction zone around airports has changed. The government has introduced a new rule stating that the 1km restriction from the airfield boundary is replaced by a restriction using the airfield’s existing aerodrome traffic zone, which has a radius of two and a half nautical miles and then five kilometres by one kilometre zones starting from the point known as the ‘threshold’ at the end of each of the airfield’s runways. Both zones extend upwards to a height of 2,000 feet above the airfield. For more information visit www.dronesafe.uk/restrictions

It is illegal to fly any drone at any time within these restricted zones unless you have permission from air traffic control at the airport.

If you intend to operate a drone in the vicinity of Norwich Airport, please input the postcode or location of intended operation, please use this map.

The Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) is highlighted in blue.  The location you input will show as a red dot.  If the red dot is inside the FRZ then it is an offence to fly a drone without the permission of Norwich Airport.

For permission, email details of location, date, time and height of intended operation to Norwich Airport at [email protected] – expect a response within 24 hours – do not operate in the FRZ until permission has been given.
