No drone zones for racing

Heavy fines for those who ignore restrictions

Drones are banned from flying when practice or racing is taking place around the Billown and Mountain Courses.

A reminder has been issued ahead of TT fortnight.

A no-fly zone is in place for all land inside the TT Course and 1000 metres outside when roads are closed.

The Southern 100 course is within 3 miles of Ronaldsway Airport so drones are banned due to the danger they may pose of aircraft landing or taking-off.

There is a 6 mile exclusion zone around Douglas on Tuesday 5 June from 7.25pm to 8.10pm as the Red Arrows are due to perform.

Organisers say a drone flying in a restricted area could lead to a practice session or race being stopped.

Following an investigation, a fine of up to £2,500 can be imposed on conviction.
