Have just been watching the news, where some hippy has been arrested for flying his kite in restricted airspace associated with Baxter Detention Centre.
It got me thinking and I have been looking through the regulations to find justification for this action.
My first instinct would have been that it would have been OK to fly a kite provided it was'nt above 360 ft.(from the depths of my memory)
The best justification I could find in the regs is this one.
101.065 Operation in prohibited or restricted area
(1) A person may operate an unmanned aircraft in or over
a prohibited area, or in or over a restricted area, only
with the permission of, and in accordance with any
conditions imposed by, the authority controlling the
area.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
I think that is fairly straight forward, does anyone have anything else to add that may justify it either way?
Cheers, HH.
