Detailed description
Drones are unmanned aircraft that, together with the remote control, form an "unmanned aircraft system" (UAS). They offer a wide range of possible uses, such as in the field of photography and videography, rescuing fawns or surveying areas.
When operating a drone, you may also want to fly over geographical areas for which you need a permit. A geographical (UAS) area is a part of the airspace defined by the responsible aviation authority that allows, restricts or excludes UAS operations. This is to avoid risks for
- public safety,
- the protection of privacy and personal data or
- the environment.
Nationwide geographical (UAS) areas include, for example,
- Federal highways,
- Federal waterways or
- Residential properties.
You want to fly over a geographical (UAS) area, but cannot obtain permission from the operator or the responsible authority? For example, you want to operate your aircraft near airports or over residential properties without permission and at an altitude of less than 100 meters?
If there is a legitimate interest in doing so, you can obtain permission to fly in geographical (UAS) areas from the responsible state aviation authority.
