PA restricts drone take/off and landing to only 6 parks in the whole state.
So for example, Washington’s crossing state park with its 3.7thousand acres, restricts drone/take off and landing by state law.
I’ve politely reached out to the park, and being a federally licensed commercial pilot with insurance coverage doesn’t pry that jar open.
The airspace classification is the limit, so I can fly over as much as I want - problem is all surrounding property is privately owned and I need to maintain 3 statue miles of visual line of site.
^ All of the above makes it impossible to capture up close aerial imagery of colonial period houses and barns for photogrammetry.
Smaller single structure county owned properties only hand out photography permits if events are being held, or the photography/videography is associated with a production company.
I may need to expand my municipal and county outreach further away from the county I reside in. Which is a shame since there are some beautiful historically preserved farmlands and structures in my home county.
