Ashford Construction Crane Airspace Advisory

A temporary lower-airspace safety warning has been issued for a lit construction crane operating at coordinates 51°08'29"N, 000°51'02"E in Ashford, Kent.

The structure stands at a height of 250ft Above Ground Level (AGL) and reaches an altitude ceiling of 400ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). Because its maximum altitude sits exactly at the standard legal ceiling for most unmanned aircraft flights, it poses a direct physical obstruction risk to drone operations in the immediate vicinity.

Furthermore, this obstacle is situated inside Low Flying Area 18 (LFA 18) and Night Rotary Region 18. Drone operators should anticipate regular military low-flying exercises and crewed helicopter traffic nearby, especially during hours of darkness. Maintain a strict visual line of sight (VLOS) with your aircraft, continuously monitor for low-altitude crewed air traffic, and ensure adequate lateral and vertical clearance from the crane structure.
