Malaysia drone map — no-fly zones, rain radar and the best places to fly
What this drone map shows
Tap or click anywhere in Malaysia for an instant GO / CAUTION / NO-GO verdict at that exact point, scored for the drone class set in the header. The layers panel toggles four data sets:
No-fly zones
Two kinds. Red circles around 12 major Malaysian airports are a widely-cited 5 km advisory — not a published legal boundary. Separately, the four permanent CAAM Prohibited Areas physically in Malaysia from eAIP ENR 5.1 are drawn at their real published radius: WMP220 PUSPATI, WMP228 Istana Bukit Serene, WMP242 Istana Negara and WBP602 (ammunition depot, Kuching area). Restricted and Danger areas are deliberately not drawn — their real shapes are irregular arcs and polygons, mostly NOTAM-activated, and a simplified circle would misrepresent them.
Rain radar
Live precipitation radar from RainViewer, showing the most recent frame. Radar tiles are only rendered natively to zoom 7, so the layer is upscaled rather than re-requested when you zoom in closer.
Best drone spots
Around 900 real, named scenic viewpoints and notable peaks (500 m+) across Malaysia, sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors via the Overpass API and filtered to exclude anything sitting inside an advisory no-fly zone.
Known locations
The 85 MET Malaysia forecast locations, each linking to a full per-location assessment page with its own airspace check and hourly outlook.
Nothing on this map is a clearance to fly. Every drone flight in Malaysia needs CAAM authorisation, and controlled airspace, aerodrome traffic zones and temporary NOTAM restrictions are not shown here. See the Malaysia drone rules checklist and whether you need a licence.
