Exemptions to the flight prohibition over target facility surrounding areas

In plain language

You may fly a drone in the restricted airspace around important facilities only if you are the facility administrator (or have their consent), the landowner/occupant (or have their consent) flying over your own land, or if you are performing official government duties. Note that for defense installations and airports, only the administrator or those with their consent are exempted.

Requirement as structured

The prohibition on flying small unmanned aircraft over target facility surrounding areas does not apply to flights conducted by the facility administrator (or with their consent), by land owners/occupants (or with their consent) over their land, or for national/local government duties, subject to specific limitations for certain facilities.
