Helicopter traffic has been insane the last few days. It took Trump for me to comprehend...
NO FLY ZONE
Ironic
The Trump no fly zone is a 2 mile radius from the Trump Tower. Which means most if not all of mid town is covered. So if you try to fly you could be dealing with the NYC police, FBI and CIA. Hardly worth it.
But even worse is the NYC police are now enforcing a old law that was on the books but not enforced. It's basically illegal to fly a drone in NYC. While it's only a misdemeanor, ($1,100 fine) it is still subject to getting you and your team arrested. This appears to have happen since an idiot flyer flew into the the US Open stadium. It only takes a stupid cowboy or two to ruin the environment for those who follow the rules and fly safe.
I can not tell you how pissed off I am about this and the fool that took a flight over the US Open.

Where can you legally fly in nyc? No where except that Park where the Us Open is located. Flushing meadow
You from the City or just ranting
It's legal to fly in Flushing Meadows Park not over the US Open which is part of the park. Lga is within 2 miles.
Imho not a good designated spot but you can legally fly in a section of that park.

Model Aircraft Fields : NYC Parks
All legal and all located dead center of airport traffic.
The us open is in queens nothing to do with flying near trump towers. Nothing got ruined for you as you say. If you want to fly commercially get permission. Randall's island for example I guess that espn event didn't happen.

The US Open issue has nothing to do with the FAA's Trump Tower restrictions. But the NYC police started enforcing the laws already on the books that makes it illegal to fly anything in NYC unless it's from a designated heli port. So it's not really possible to fly drones commercially in NYC at the present time. There is no getting permission now.
Here's the laws for NYC aircraft operation, Drones are considered aircraft. Section 6-C is an issue to say the least.

You from the City or the forum? Part 107 authorization is for swamps only
Van courtland Park is located in confines of the 50 precint, Manhattan. Stop by the precint have ID and you will get permission and it's not officially an AMA field. But not good enough some I guess but good enough for the commissioner

Can't really do that as I do commercial work at very specific locations, most all open jobs right now are within the 2 mile no fly zone from Trump Tower. But about 2 months ago my crew was waiting for the light when they were confronted by 5 NYC blues and told to not fly. after an hour of discussion with higher ups and NYC PD legal, they were shut down. We've been trying to get some folks with real clout and political influence to get to the Mayor and others to get permission, nothing so far. I'm not from NYC but do, or used to, do a lot of drone work there. If you get the NY Times you've seen my work in lots of adds.
You ain't paying the right people
Now you got me dry switching have you ever seen the...
MAJOR WORLD CAR COMMERCIAL in Queens. Whos getting fined? Nobody thrtPlenty of illegal footage if you know i1 footage jello included & the shadiw. That commercial is hilarious.
125 and 12ave I've witnessed a thousand movies filmed with drones. I fly mines by just to piss them off.
I guess people pay to play welcome to NYC at the same time I don't see how you was allowed to do commercial work before part 107.
Trump has definitely been bad for business
