Could any one advise me on the legal situation flying in Germany please? Purely as a non commercial tourist.
Non Commercial Flying in Germany
- Thread starter Farlap
- Start date
Non-Commercial Basics:
- 100 m max Altitude
- Line of Sight
- Only from Sunrise to Sunset
- Not over "crowded" Areas (Festivals, Demonstrations etc.)
- Not over housing areas (Privacy)
- Keep away from Airports like provided in NoFlyZones of DJI Go.

Hi,
Aircraft must be below 5KG, around Airports & Helipads you have a 1.5KM NFZ, outside of the 1.5KM radius around an Airport BUT within a control zone you have a max altitude of 30 meters.
Powerplants, Hospitals, Military sites or areas & Prisons must be avoided, also disaster zones (we have a few in south germany at the moment due to thunder storms) and of course crowded places.
For private pilots, the maximum altitude is 762 meters (here ends the non-controlled airspace) BUT practically the maximum altitude is limited by the viewing distance (LOS).

Have changed the thread title to something more descriptive than "Germany"

100M applies to the simple "Aufstiegsgenehmigung" (license) for commercial flights.

There is a pretty good site (in German) which provides a good overview about the situation in europe: Drohnen-Gesetze für 29 Länder in Europa
I guess you can figure it out with google translate or other tools!

Chris is right.
As i´m near Frankfurt/Airport and always fly commercial, i was never refering to the private rules.

Thankyou everyone. I do have PFAW but realise it wont cover me in Germany and just want to make a couple of films for my own pleasure, when we visit friends soon. Im hoping this will be within the realms of possibility
