Drone Flying

Operators flying drones near any military airfield must ensure they are aware of the UK policy for their safe operation. The Drone Code forms part of the Civil Aviation Authority's advice and guidance to drone operators.

Both RAF Valley and RAF Mona are protected Military aerodromes with permanent Flight Restriction Zones (FRZs). Their respective FRZs are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and restrictions apply to all drones, regardless of weight or purpose.

Requests to operate a drone within the RAF Valley or RAF Mona Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ) must be made in writing with no less than 7 days notice to: [email protected] 

Night flying

Night flying training usually takes place from Monday to Thursday as and when required. 

We will pre-notify residents of night flying via our Facebook page. Search 'RAF Valley' on Facebook or follow the link on the 'Updates about Flying' section.
