Restricted Sites:

Skyhigh manage a number of sites that have been assessed as sensitive and/or restricted. This classification has been placed on the site because of technical/environmental difficulties with the site, restrictions by the site owners, or the close proximity of flying activities to populated areas. These sites are rated as PG5 and are therefore restricted to flying activities by:

• PG5 or PG4 pilots with a "site endorsement"

• PG4 or PG5 under direct supervision of a PG5 (or higher) endorsed pilot.
