Drone restrictions issued ahead of Royal visit

Drones will be restricted on Wednesday when Queen Camilla visits the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has made the Civil Aviation (Restriction of Flying) (Douglas) Regulations 2024 (SD No. 2024/0097) which prohibit the flight of drones within the area bounded by a circle of radius 1.5 nautical miles centred on 54°09’49”N , 004°28’39”W between 08:00 and 18:00 on Wednesday 20th March 2024.

The prohibition applies to all drones, regardless of size or maximum take-off mass.

Police say they will be actively monitoring the airspace to detect incursions or breaches.

Any person(s) found contravening the regulations may be subject to a fine of up to £10,000 and / or a prison sentence of up to five years.
