Information about the Drone flight and Crane installation approval process for the Goodwood Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ).
On 13 March 2019 new legislation regarding drone flight restrictions around airfields came into force. The new legislation supersedes the drone flight restricted zones that were published in July 2018.
From this date, drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV’s (which includes model aircraft) are banned from flying within a Flight Restricted Zone around an airport or aerodrome. Therefore, flying drones in and around the Goodwood Estate and surrounding area require permission to be obtained before they are flown, as a Flight Restricted Zone is in place around Goodwood Aerodrome.
Anyone wishing to use a drone within this restricted airspace must apply to Goodwood Aerodrome.
If you wish to operate a drone anywhere within the Goodwood FRZ, or operate a crane within the 6km safeguarded area of Goodwood Aerodrome, you must request permission to do so via the AirPortal application process.
Drone flight applications must be submitted at least 5 working days before your intended flight. For drone flights or at Goodwood Motor Circuit or Goodwood House, applications must be submitted at least 7 working days in advance. Please note, we are unable to accept or process drone requests received on Saturdays or Sundays, so allow additional time when planning your flight.
For crane applications within the 6km safeguarded area around Goodwood Aerodrome, we will require your application to be submitted at least 14 days in advance.
Drones may only be flown and cranes deployed once your application has been assessed and written permission has been granted by the Goodwood Aerodrome team.
Please note that applications for both drone flights and cranes are a paid service. The charge made for drone and crane requests is an administrative assessment fee and is not a charge for the use of the airspace.
Goodwood Aerodrome works in partnership with Air Portal Ltd to manage all drone and crane operations across the Goodwood Estate.
To ensure the safety of our airspace, visitors and events, all drone activity on the Estate must be approved in advance. Air Portal provides a straightforward application process, allowing operators to submit requests, upload documentation, and receive permission where appropriate.
