Why the distinction matters
Airspace and ground access are different. Parks, heritage sites, nature reserves and private land can have their own conditions for take-off and landing.
A useful pre-purchase test
List three places you realistically expect to use the drone, then verify whether take-off and landing are workable there.
- Owner or managing authority
- Published byelaws and site rules
- Opening times, events and temporary controls
Keep claims narrow
A site policy can change and may depend on the activity. Link to the current managing authority rather than repeating an undated yes-or-no answer.
