Airspace near Setiu
No advisory no-fly zone covers Setiu. The nearest one we track is Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu), about 44 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.
Flying a drone in Setiu
This page scores live conditions at Setiu (5.5501, 102.7355) 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.
Like the rest of Malaysia, Setiu is equatorial: mornings are usually the calmest window, storm energy builds through midday, and thunderstorms are most common from mid-afternoon into the evening. Check the hourly timeline above before committing to a time, and re-check on site — a forecast made hours earlier can be stale by takeoff.
