Anaheim's no-fly zone

Did you know that other than for public safety, aircraft and drones cannot fly above The Anaheim Resort? This federal no-fly zone extends 3.5 miles in each direction and up to 3,000 feet in the air. The no-fly zone  stretches nearly to Dale Street in the west, beyond the southern city limit into Garden Grove, up to the Riverside (91) Freeway to the north and to the Orange (57) Freeway to the east. 

That puts a large part of Anaheim off limits for drone use. Avoid the no-fly zone — and potential serious legal consequences — and explore other parts of our city instead.
