Drone Zone Norfolk briefing

A presentation will take place at the Felthorpe Airfield Clubhouse (NR10 4DR) on Friday, March 15th, at 18:00. The session will be conducted by Hexcam, a prominent drone company.

Rowley Cory-Wright, the Director, will be delivering the talk, focusing on the upcoming operational advancements in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations in North Norfolk in support of the Norfolk Offshore Windzone.

Pilots at surrounding airfields are encouraged to attend. It is advisable for attendees to familiarize themselves with the topic before the event, and they can find more information at https://hexcam.co.uk/bvlostrial.

While some Felthorpe pilots may have already attended the talk, those who haven’t are also encouraged to participate. There are no incentives such as complimentary beverages, but gaining insight into the comprehensive story behind the seemingly strict airspace regulations is valuable. Despite initial perceptions, it is essential to understand that this is not a draconian drone airspace takeover. However, there is a concern that social media may eventually spotlight Norfolk, potentially causing unwarranted alarm within the broader General Aviation (GA) community.
