Yes. But you must be aware of the hazards and enter at your own risk

Can you enter a restricted area without permission?

No. Must gain permission from the administering authority

What does this mean?

When displayed at a PLA, a red and white cone with the cone pointing into wind indicates the dropping area is active

Agricultural operations are being conducted

Ground/runway is unfit for use

Hold point.



Must hold if approaching solid lines, unless cleared to cross.


Can cross without clearance if approaching dashed lines.
