REVIEW

This is decent location for practicing VLOS surveying.

DESCRIPTION

Kenney Askew Park is a local park located in Pickens County, Georgia. It's a community-oriented space that offers various amenities such as athletic fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and walking trails. The park is a great spot for family outings, sports activities, and casual recreation, surrounded by natural beauty.


Considering Flying a Drone:
1. Scenic Value:
- Aesthetics: The park has open spaces and some wooded areas. While it’s not a nationally-renowned scenic spot, it could provide some nice aerial shots of local landscapes.
- Activity: Depending on the time and day, the park can be busy with families and sporting events, which might impact your drone flight.
2. Legal Considerations:
- FAA Regulations: You must comply with all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for flying a drone, including staying below 400 feet in altitude.
- LANCE Authorization: Kenney Askew Park is not within close proximity to any major airports. However, it is best practice to check drone airspace maps (using apps like B4UFLY or Airmap) to ensure you are not in restricted airspace. If it’s class G airspace, you don’t need LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorization. But if it's within 5 miles of an airport, you might need it.
3. Local Rules:
- Park Policies: You should check with Pickens County Parks and Recreation Department for any specific rules regarding drone use in Kenney Askew Park. Some local parks may have additional regulations or require permits for drone flights.
- Privacy: Be mindful of people in the park to respect their privacy. Avoid flying over crowds or sensitive areas.

Practical Tips:
- Pre-Flight Check: Make sure your drone and controller are fully charged. Check weather conditions for any high winds or rain, which could affect your flight.
- Safety Measures: Always keep your drone within the line of sight, and be prepared for emergencies by knowing how to quickly land the drone if necessary.
- Insurance: Consider having drone insurance to cover any liabilities or accidents that might occur.

Summary:
Kenney Askew Park can be a good spot for flying a drone, provided you follow legal and safety guidelines. Check local regulations, the park's rules on drone usage, and ensure it's not within restricted airspace that would require LANCE authorization. Always prioritize safety and respect privacy while capturing your aerial footage.
