Airspace near Yan
No advisory no-fly zone covers Yan. The nearest one we track is Penang International Airport, about 63 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 Yan
This page scores live conditions at Yan (5.8483, 100.4152) 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, Yan 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.
