Statutory No Fly Zone at Jurby

From 1st January 2019 it is now an offence to fly in the statutory no fly zone marked in red on the map. It was in the club rules as no fly zone anyway, but now it is a legal requirement not to fly there. (Please ‘click’ on the map to enlarge).

(And not just yours, also the flyer who is stood beside you on the flightline). The message has to be …… LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN YOUR CAR.
