It doesn’t need to be at the cm level. Giving them a 10m berth should be fine.

A 10m berth from wires would exclude a substantial proportion of houses in my city.

Then they shouldn’t be flying in your city.

As is apparently becoming obvious.

I can’t think of a major city I’ve been to on earth where 10M from a hung cable is realistic outside of some suburbs and rural areas.

Does Manhattan count? I am pretty sure south of 96th street has no above ground utilities.
