StraightforwardHobby flights allowed under BCAA rules
Bermuda is one of the clearer options if you fly conservatively: stay below 400 ft, avoid no-fly zones, and get BCAA approval for commercial or certificate-required operations.
The trip, step by step

- Recreational flights are allowed when BCAA rules are followed, including visual line of sight and separation from people, property, airports, and restricted areas.
