Introducing NoFlyZone.org





It's a pretty common concern, and is frequently discussed by UAV pilots and on-lookers. Can that drone be used to spy on me? What if it is used to look into my windows? And for that reason it is no surprise that NoFlyZone.org was created. 

The NoFlyZone website is simple and easy for anyone to use. All you do is enter your home address and some basic information, and they do the rest. Once you submit your information it is then verified and the GPS coordinates are added to the database the organization works with drone manufacturers to create a off-limit coordinate for the drone that is uploaded into the drone's software. 

And all of this is free to the user.

There is no guarantee that all drones can be deterred from an area, because to date only a handful of companies have partnered with NoFlyZone. One of the partners being the manufacturer of the 350QX, Horizon Hobby.





The company follows rules that have already been developed by the FAA, which has restricted drone areas already in place, such as airports and government buildings. One of the differences between private and mandatory no fly zone's is that the private zone's will be customizable, and allow for the possibility of delivery drones and anything else that may become available in the future. In time we will be able to see how the NoFlyZone helps contain the off limit areas.
