(791 posts)News helicopters routinely capture high quality footage above 1,000 AGL. Most off-the-shelf drones are capped around 400' AGL but this extra 600' could allow some wiggle room before coming in contact with normal air traffic. Without looking at the NOTAMd area I cant give a better answer.

(7,794 posts)Seems I was right. We're screwed "volks".
Call out the national guard? Who are they working for these days?
A HERETIC I AM
(24,658 posts)Basically a Keep away Or Heads Up type notice.
As an example, when a tall radio or cellphone tower has its top signal lamp out, a NOTAM is issued.
It seems to me they are warning civilian drone operators to stay away and not record what is going on.
Who would have thunk it, eh?

Yet another thing to blame on Joe Lieberman.

(1,625 posts)There was a small plane that had equipment that could suck up cell phone data that different agencies can circle over an area.
Also there were several stories about other surveillance planes and drones flying over BLM protests in several cities.
