Drone legislation and rules
As a private individual or operator you will fly in the open category as standard. We explain the most important rules for flying in this blog.
Vertical height
You can fly up to 120 metres.
VLOS
Always keep your drone in sight. There is no maximum horizontal distance as long as you can see it.
Keep your distance from people
Do not fly above people and crowds. If this happens, move away immediately and safely. Except your flight crew, everyone is considered as uninvolved persons.
Subcategories
Depending on the weight of your drone you will fly in one of the subcategories (A1, A2 or A3). This includes additional restrictions on keeping your distance.
No-fly zones
You are not allowed to fly in no-fly zones (like CTR, ATZ, P / R / D, TSA, TRA, TGB). Use information from the national aviation authority to plan your flight. You can check NOTAM messages for temporary restrictions that are not displayed in national guides (e-AIP), ICAO charts or local flight apps.
Recap
It's really easy to comply with the requirements:
- Keep your drone below 120 metres
- Keep your drone in visual line of sight
- Don't fly above uninvolved persons and crowds
- Don't fly in restricted areas
- Prepare your flight by checking local information
