Airspace near Barat Daya
No advisory no-fly zone covers Barat Daya. The nearest one we track is Penang International Airport, about 6 km away. That is not a clearance — controlled airspace, aerodrome traffic zones and temporary NOTAM restrictions still apply, and every flight in Malaysia needs CAAM authorisation. See the rules checklist and whether you need a licence.

This page scores live conditions at Barat Daya (5.3357, 100.2390) into a single GO / CAUTION / NO-GO verdict for your drone class. It combines wind and gusts at flight altitude, rain, thunderstorm risk (CAPE), visibility, haze (PM2.5) and temperature — whichever factor is worst sets the verdict.
