Crayford Lit Crane Obstruction Advisory A temporary lower-airspace safety warning is active in Greater London due to a tall construction crane operating at coordinates 51°08'27"N, 000°51'02"E (Crayford, Bexley). The physical structure reaches a height of 260ft Above Ground Level (AGL) and an altitude ceiling of 290ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). While the crane is officially marked as lit to aid flight visibility, its significant vertical profile narrows the safe operating margin below the standard 400ft drone ceiling. Crucially, this obstruction is located within the Thames Valley Avoidance Area (Day and Night), an airspace corridor with stringent restrictions designed to protect low-altitude flight safety. Remote pilots must maintain a strict visual line of sight (VLOS), actively monitor the surrounding horizon for low-flying crewed aircraft, and ensure defensive horizontal and vertical separation from the crane structure.
