Drones barred from course during TT

The Department for Enterprise is reminding people drones are banned from flying near the course during TT.

During this month's Tynwald sitting, the department will ask members to back new regulations restricting the Island's airspace during the festival.

The measures are designed to protect the medical helicopter on duty during racing as well as aircraft used for filming the event.

Under the rules, drones won't be allowed within a kilometre of the course between May 26 and June 9 without special permission from the emergency services.
