In my new member introduction and said that I lived under the North Fast Jet Zone. This appears on the NATS site and covers a large area of the Moray Firth in Scotland. When I look at Drone Map this area does not show nor does it show up on Drone Assist. On the NATS site there is a list of what I assume are coordinates. There is also some flight level figures, 550 and 245. My thinking is that these are the altitudes that the zone is in operation and I also think that this may translate to altitudes between 24,500 and 55,000 feet. If I am correct does this mean that I am allowed to fly my drone in this area.
Can anyone confirm this or am I looking at this all wrong. I find the information regarding these areas to be poor at best and very confusing. Thanks in advance.

Yes. FL245 and FL550 are 24,500 FT and 55,000 FT.
We only show airspave that effects people flying drones on the surface on thedronemap.com
Simon, thank you for the flight level clarification. In your opinion and with your experience will I be okay flying my drone here? I am never going to be anywhere near either of those altitudes. I doubt that I would even be near 120 feet initially and I take it that this is what you refer to as surface flying.
Regards
Simon.
Absolutely. Restrictions way above you like this have no bearing on you.
Simon, once again thank you for clarifying that for me it is very much appreciated.
Simon.
