Most airports, airfields and spaceports have a flight restriction zone (FRZ) that applies to drones and unmanned aircraft.  Tom Guest from the CAA RPAS team explains why these FRZs are in place and how they work. 

We also cover guidance for passengers who are travelling with a drone and what to be aware of when you’re at the airport. 

Aaron Bassett from Gatwick Airport explains what happens when their systems detect that a drone has been activated and the impact this can have on airport operations.
