Most airports, airfields and spaceports have a flight restriction zone (FRZ) that applies to drones and unmanned aircraft. 

In a recent drone podcast by the CAA, Tom Guest from the CAA RPAS team explains why these FRZs are in place and how they work. They also cover guidance for passengers who are travelling with a drone and what to be aware of when you’re at the airport. You’ll also hear from Gatwick Airport’s Stable Operations Lead, Aaron Bassett, who explains what happens when their systems detect a drone and the impact this can have on airport operations.

The podcast is available from the CAA Drone Safety series.
