In NZ they have a shielded operation exemption, you can fly in your front yard ok. Makes sense as any aircraft you might crash into shouldn't really be below the tree or mast near you.
What are the rules for flying shielded?
A shielded operation must meet the below requirements:
- An operation of an aircraft within 100 metres of, and below the top of, a natural or man-made object; and
- Outside of the boundary of the aerodrome; and
- In airspace that is physically separated from the aerodrome by a barrier that is capable of arresting the flight of the aircraft.
