Weather App(opens in new tab)

If you want to know whether the weather is good to fly then use the UAV Forecast app.

REMEMBER: You set the parameters, so if you think your drone will fly in a 25mph wind then set it up this way. (Good luck)

National Trust Land(opens in new tab)

There are many sites around the UK where land is owned by the National Trust but unfortunately NT do not allow you to set off from their land (Although in quiet times I have found some friendly staff :-))

There aren't any rules about flying OVER National Trust land as long as you follow the Drone Code and any other local rules.

I find this link useful to find out where NT land is:

Who Owns England(opens in new tab)

It is useful to know that you can't take off from National Trust land but you are allowed to take off from the Crown Estate (Land owned by the queen), as long as you follow the drone code. This map looks to tell you about both.

Drone Assist - NATS App(opens in new tab)

This is a "Must Have" application which can tell you lots of useful information about where you are planning to fly. Please check this before you fly.
