Safety Exclusion Zones for Event Flights

In plain language

When flying near events, you must set up a safety buffer zone where people cannot enter. The size of this zone depends on your altitude (e.g., 30m wide if flying under 20m high, or up to 70m wide if flying up to 150m high).

Requirement as structured

JCAB requires operators flying over events to coordinate with the organizer and establish specific horizontal exclusion zones based on flight altitude (ranging from 30m for altitudes under 20m, up to 70m for altitudes up to 150m) to keep third parties out.
