Requesting entry into geographical areas with drones

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles which, together with the remote control, form an "Unmanned Aircraft System" (UAS). They offer you a wide range of possible applications, for example in the field of photography and videography, for rescuing fawns or surveying areas.

When operating a drone, you may also want to fly over geographical areas for which you require a permit. A geographical (UAS) area is a part of the airspace defined by the competent aviation authority that permits, restricts or excludes UAS operation. This is intended to avoid risks to

  • public safety,
  • the protection of privacy and personal data or
  • the environment.

Geographical (UAS) areas that apply nationwide are, for example

  • Federal highways,
  • federal waterways or
  • residential properties.

Do you want to fly over a geographical (UAS) area but are unable to obtain permission from the operator or the responsible authority? For example, do you want to operate your aircraft near airports or over residential properties without consent and at an altitude of less than 100 meters?
If you have a legitimate interest in doing so, you can obtain a permit to fly in geographical (UAS) areas from the relevant state aviation authority.
