    I found this video very helpful in that we live in the U.S. and my wife (who is a native of Portugal) and I frequently travel to Portugal to visit family and to see our favorite attractions. I hold an FAA Part 107 UAS Pilot certification in the U.S. and fly for my own media company. I'd also like to fly in Portugal to create tourist-type media to show friends/family and was curious as to how to go about where to find the rules; this video has certainly helped.
    If I fly in Portugal, I'll probably take my DJI Air 2S and DJI Avata, both of which weigh more than 250 grams.

    I flew in Santorini last year with a mini3pro, lovely experience, though in Fira Port, a captain of a tourist ship shouted over claiming I had no authority to fly (wrong, I'd cleared all flight paths with the equiv to CAA, and nothing on local app maps, airports showed up ok in same). Landed anyways just to keep the peace.
    Problem in other areas was it DJI refused to take off as it would have exceeded the 120m limit, even though that was the ground level at that place (it's a VERY high island) and i wasn't skilled enough to find a ay to disable that setting, (if there is one!)

    Great video, explains it well. I thought it was in the 'too hard to do basket'. Seems if I register in Ireland, as going there on my way to Spain... and take the UK drone pilot course... I should be OK flying in remote villages throughout Spain where there are no flying restrictions that I can see on an app on my phone? Is that right? Planning on getting a DJI mini 4 pro as it has built-in ' won't crash' apparently which is a good idea I think as I have never flown anything before apart from Ryan Air! I will be visiting many remote villages, making a CZcams series on " Can I work remotely in X" throughout remote Spain, so having drone footage of these villages will be key for the B role etc. I don't need to worry about Madrid, Barcelona and any big cities as not reviewing any town with more than 20,000 inhabitants. If that sounds like a plan be great to know if you agree or not before I invest in a drone and have it taken off me on day one :)

I am just scanning Drone Assist for FRZs, some require authorisation to fly in and have a phone number listed so no problem there, but some also state "This peice of airspace is in effect above xxxft AGL" or "This peice of airspace is in effect above surface". So for those with an AGL specified, is it OK to fly below xxxft without authorisation and those "above surface" is it OK to fly below surface, within a gorge for example?
    Sorry for the long question, but any thoughts would be great.

    Hello, Thank you for this information. I am a US citizen and will be traveling throughout Spain for most of September. I went through the process of getting registered as a drone operator and received a UAS operator registration #. I use a DJI mini 3 pro that is less than 250g. It seems that I can fly under the open A1 category. As I look at the maps it seems as though there are many areas that say the flight of RPAS is prohibited. I am unfamiliar with this terminology.
    It seems that I will be required to purchase insurance, which I will do, but I don't know if I will have an opportunity to familiarize the A1-A3 requirements to the point of taking an exam. am I able to do things such as put my Mini 3 pro up in Barcelona to take a photo of La Sagrada Famiglia inside of a zone that says flight of RPAS is prohibited?

  • @Kaasmof
    @Kaasmof Před rokem +1

    to start with the last question: I use a mavic air and since a few months also a mini 3. Since flying in Germany, where I live, is not always easy (people publish the content of their diapers on social media but tend to cry "privacy" as soon as they see a camera or drone!), I mostly fly in Sweden where people seem to be more relaxed. I prefer to fly early in the morning or later in the evening, since you have "softer" light. If there are people around the area I want to take of from, I mostly approach them, tell them that I intend to fly, checked the legality of the location and, if the are nterested, show them the maps. I also have cards with contact details and offer them a copy of the footage if they send me an email. Since flying my drone(s) now for six years, I only once had someone "complaining", but that was more about the sound that would "disturb the filmcrew in the castle..." I took his complain, got the drone back in and returned the next morning (with much better weather) and got the shots I wanted.
    If people approach me while flying, I tell them to wait untill I have safely landed the drone and so I have time and attention for them. Taking this five or ten minutes to explain the hobby, show some footage and maybe even show some direct flights takes away the concerns with most people, specially when they realize that from 120 meters above ground, you hardly recognize who is who on the ground (except me, caus I wear a blue high-visible cover while operating).

      Hi there - I am looking to take my drone to Sweden this summer and would love to get some help to ensure I get all the pre planning right :) I'm based in the UK, and have my A2CofC and GVC certificate which I took here in the UK earlier this year. I'm planning on getting a DJI Mini 3 in Sweden (price difference), and fly it to film my friend's boat on the coast (in permitted areas ofc). The drone will be insured. I have my Flyer ID, and my Operator ID (and this will be stickered to the drone too), both obtained in the UK. I'm Danish so I have a Danish passport, so I am wondering this - do I need to do any additional registering under EASA to fly in Sweden / Norway / Denmark ? And am I bound to register with Denmark, even though I plan to fly in Sweden first? Or shall I instead register in Sweden? Or do I not need to do any additional registering? Thanks so much in advance! :)

      @@wildandabout2156 Good Evening (morning, afternoon, what ever is approriat)
      Since the rules in europe changed, it has become easier. I suppose that you are register as operator and the operator ID is on the drone. Like in the UK, there are flightrestrictions in areas around airports, prisons, nuclear plants etc, as well as natur reservats. RIght now, I am not in my office, but I will post here some lnks that are important.
      First, to the general dronemaps, showing the permanent restrictions put in place by the aircontroling authorities (LFV), then a link to the LFV where you can find NOTAM messages, which are not shown on the general maps. And finally two links to the lantmäteriet. In the first link you can see the maps of Sweden, zoom in and check if there is any naturreservat in the area you want to fly. IF so, you cannot fly there.
      The second one os important if you intend to publish your footage. You do not need permission to get the footage, but BEFORE you release it, you have to present the unedited version of the footage to get the permission to publish. The proces is simple, takes only a few days and is free of charge. In the past five years, I have sent them almost 1TB on footage and never had any restrictions for publication. Don't think thes don't find out that you publish without permission, I know ofat least two cases where people got a friendliy letter to let them know, that they violated the law with the included request, to submit the footage for release.

Found forms but not you can actually fill in, which is necessary if I what to email it to the Greek authorities. Information on CZcams is confusing. I’ve got a Mini 3 pro, and some people say you need insurance, others say you don’t, it’s got to the point where it’s not worth the stress. I’ll leave the drone at home and try and sort it out over winter before next years trip.

    However, to pass the A2 exam, it seems to me that an in-person exam is needed? Is that true or is there an online version of this around?

Also their rules are a lot more strict than they are here in the U.K. No flying over businesses, people etc. It seems anything that’s either fixed to the ground, or free to move, you can’t fly over them. So for now, I’m not bothering.
