We Have To Have The Area Coned Off For Drones 😲🛸🎥❌

Today we take a look at Hilti Distribution Centre, Unit 1, 3 Opus Cl, Carrington, Manchester M31 4RQ.

We speak to a few members of staff who object to filming and flying the drone for photography.

We demonstrate how easy it is to communicate with the local Aerodrome to enable a lawful flight within an FRZ.

Staff are unable to communicate and just get stroppy.

There’s nobody there we still have to have it ConEd off I don’t know why you’re getting stroppy there’s nobody there have it ConEd off so welcome back to the channel guys today we’re here in Manchester taking a look at this place which is the Hilty distribution center it’s in Carrington an M31

Postcode it looks pretty new on this uh end of cisac industrial estate next to Charles Ivy and protective packaging limited for those of you that do not know Hilty also known as Hilty AG or Hilty group is a multinational company based in lichenstein and it specializes in developing manufacturing and marketing

Products for the construction building maintenance energy and Manufacturing Industries basically tools and the company was founded more than 80 years ago by Martin Hilty and remains familyowned so that’s what the place does this is what it looks like not many staff cars at all really in this very modern large Warehouse

Building we do have lots of signs so let’s get a little bit closer to them so directly to our left we’ve got the collections at number one outbound and collections pedestrian entrance at number two and then we’ve got outb outbound Bays 1 to six and inbound 7 to

10 okay and that will be over there excuse me h what you filming what am I filming yeah somebody in a red jacket oh what you what you filming for for for YouTube what for for my YouTube channel I know but what are you filming in the building

For same answer for my YouTube channel so as we were saying the signs pedestrians in the yard obey all speed restrictions smoking is not permitted right so I presume that then cuz he was smoking I presume and that is the designated smoking area is that the designated smoking

Area is that the designated smoking area and it doesn’t look very busy at all really does it a few trailers that are docked a few bins at the back overflow storage with a sign that says bunker M bunker a trailer there securely locked up on both its hitch and its

Wheel yeah very nice tidy yard very tidy indeed and they even have some sort of uh well is that a wasp cater of some sort up there so that is all we can see really from the outside the time has come to get David up and let’s see what this place

Looks like from above cuz we do have some Spectators and I’m not sure whether they’re going to be able to keep themselves to themselves but let’s find out thank you for calling Barton Aerodrome and Manchester heliport please note that calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes there

Um I’m at Hilty um do you know where Hilty is the Distribution Center at the edge of your um restriction Zone uh airm say that again airm yeah I know where where H is yeah yeah yeah so I’m just going to take the drone over just to get some aerial photography for the

Next uh 10 minutes uh right okay you got a drone uh reference number well the fre to idid um have you submitted a drone request to us no not yet right okay um if it’s inside the FZ we need you to submit a drone request first what through the app through drone

Assist uh sorry say that again the line’s not very good uh submit it through what sorry you need to submit if you’re operating with inside ourz you need to submit a a drone request to us yeah is it through drone assist the app uh no it’s on it’s on our website we

Have our we have our own independent drone request form oh okay only takes two minutes to complete but if you navigate to our website B dr.co uh just under contact us there’s a bit about drones you can fill out the fill out the form come to us and we’ll

Uh we’ll approve it as soon as we get it yeah okay I’ll jump on there and do that now thank you just double check what height are you looking to operate to I’ll only be up at about 100 MERS right okay no problem just uh just

Uh we do have uh the uh the police Poli and the Northwest ambulance operating helicopters out of us frequently there’s one just departing so if you just take if there are any helicopters in your vicinity 100% yeah if I see any helicopters I’ll bring it right back

Down okay great stuff once we get the request uh we should be able to go through that so within a couple of minutes and you can then you can operate yeah I’ll request it right now thank you very much okay cheers mate thank very much cheers byebye bye hello yeah it’s

John again from uh traffic paron yeah yeah no I’ve just got your request through thanks for doing um the only issue we’ve got with your request mate is the height you’ve put 400 ft on it um we have helicopters leaving um The Zone directly over where you’re uh where you’re looking to

Operate at 500 ft um we could Pro it not above 250 is does that work for you um I normally operate in meters so what’s 120 m 120 M uh 120 m in feet is exactly pretty much 400 ft so 396 ft yeah that’s why I put the maximum there I I was

Looking at about 100 m but what are you proposing in meters 250 so uh it will be about 75 80 meters 80 M yeah that’s perfectly fine do you want me to resubmit it with 80 M on no not at all I can just prove your current request with

An adjustment to the height and just say it’s approved but not above 1880 m 8 Z yeah that’s agreed I no worries I’ll get that approved now two minutes and it should be three cheers thank you byebye thank you Bobby so there we go drone model aircraft approval request

Approved so let’s do this Hilty here in Manchester they didn’t like us filming they wanted to know what it was for we told them twice but when we wanted to know what that shelter was for is that the designated smoking area they weren’t willing to tell us anything

Were they so oneway Street here at Hilty now it says aircraft in warning Zone fly with caution so we’re not going to go above 80 M up we’ll get right up there though straight the way to 80 m 50 60 70 and 80 there we go I’ll come down to 77

M and there it is look at all that wasted car parking it’s a very nice place though isn’t it not very old at all so we know we’ve got some in Bays we know we’ve got some out Bays we know we’ve got some pallets in the corner and some

Cardboard Bales but what we don’t know is what is inside the skip so let’s get nice and low and find out the answer to that one and we can also see lots of rubbish around the edge what’s that all about in the skip here at healty we just have some

Metal plates of some sort yeah but what we also have is lots and lots of litter scattered all around the outside not a very good look is it for such a worldwide brand all the money that’s floating around in the this company and they don’t even bother to send the litter picker

Out we do now have staff approaching so let’s get the drone over so we can witness any bad behavior I have to ask you to stop this me is there a reason why you’re flying over the land is there any reason why you’re asking me the same question that I’ve

Already answered yes I’m here to make a YouTube video about your building can you please not do that your request has been denied the video will continue any further questions is it possible for me to get a copy of that that video that you just created hello is it possible for me to

Get a copy of that video that you just created yeah you can request it from the local police from the local police yes B I don’t mind taking you’re taking a photo but is it okay to get a copy a bit hello hello is it okay to get a copy of

It Al so you actually ignoring me am I is that okay if I ignore you then for now is that all right can we both play that game did I answer your question you asked me what I’m doing I told you I’m filming for YouTube when I ever talk to

You you’re just rude is that how you want to portray Hilty Distribution Center is it you’re doing a great job concern right now my concern is health and safety we have people working in that yard normally we clear it and we request it 2 days prior there has been

No request no pre-advice no nothing that’s health and safety topic we can’t have a drone in the Ard where people are operating I can’t see anyone you don’t know if somebody’s going to come out of the yard do you I can clearly see there’s nobody there we

Still have to have it ConEd off I don’t know why you’re getting stoppy there’s nobody there off what are you raising your voice for thank you cheers thank you you don’t raise your voice at me mate you still have to have it ConEd off who you think you talking to

Nice little shot inside the uh Warehouse there and they say that this is putting people in danger F ling a 249 G drone over an empty yard look absolutely pathetic and look at them now closing the gates like I’ve even tried to get in what an overreaction so their intimidation

Failed low battery on the scanner so we’ll turn that off so there they are on the phone to the police wanted to know everything about my business would want to tell us nothing about theirs they didn’t even want to acknowledge the fact that I could have a

Copy of the photo or video that they’re taking so entitled aren’t they Drone footage of Hilty Distribution Center we just have some very messy pallet storage going on down here that has even spread onto the grass lots of litter a skip full of metal and very rude stuff I would say

That are not willing to even discuss the Drone we don’t want it we must have cones it’s our way or no way well not today and even if the police come I know the first thing they’ll be saying this is in a restriction Zone yes we know and

We’ve done everything by the book like we always do so let’s get a 360° photo for Google Maps and see where the video takes us next and there we have the front of the building up at 38 M and 59 M away from it we have Mr red jumper down

There still on the phone to the police probably and we have yeah we have stuff looking out the windows as well who would have thought a drone would cause so much panic and they’re not even able to communicate properly are they and talk about it legalities just jump straight

In with we know best we know what you’re doing is wrong stop it no permission we’re right you’re wrong don’t think so so opposite Hilty we have the substation underneath the grid there under the stones as well we have the DJ audits key ring so if you are one

Of the first people to watch this video and you do want the key ring good luck with that they have now all gone back inside and lock the place down here at Hilty not once did we even attempt to go in but they have to show that they are

In charge they have the authority and me standing over there getting all the relevant permissions flying at the correct height with the operator ID with the correct weight drone doing all my checks still wasn’t good enough was it the they want the area to be ConEd off when there’s literally nobody there

Now if there was a crowd of people there too many people that can’t move away easily then you wouldn’t fly over them anyway we know that so where’s all the trust gone the person doing the activity why don’t you trust that they’re doing everything that they should be doing to

The letter of the law why do companies like this always assume that you’re up to no good and think that they’re right and they don’t want to listen to you I don’t know but that’s certainly what happened here at Hilty what we got in this little

Box a battery with some sort of solar panel can hear something on an intercom somewhere someone on in come over here can you hear me can I help you you should be working I should be working oh thank you you should not be watching the cameras you should be

Working I can I watch him Camas all the time that’s my job well that’s a very easy job how much do we pay you for doing that okay how can I help you me yes come and hold my camera for me while I zoom in you want to come and help

Me no okay so we have waited around for another 5 to 10 minutes just in case the police were called it’s nice to speak to the police on the videos isn’t it and to avoid their time being wasted but I think a reasonable amount of time now has been

Waited for them to arrive so I’ll call it we shall move on Hilty Distribution Center here in Manchester video complete complete overreaction not willing to understand yeah no good so if you have enjoyed that video do give it a thumbs up for me and I’ll see you on the next

One guys bye-bye for now
