Specific drone operations

Yes, under certain conditions. Flights using video goggles (FPV) are only allowed if:

• A visual observer is standing directly next to the pilot
• This person must keep the drone in constant sight (VLOS)
• There must be active communication about potential hazards
• Responsibility remains with the pilot

Note: Without visual contact (no observer), a SORA authorization from FOCA is required – this also applies to FPV races.

Yes, but with restrictions:

• Do not fly over gatherings of people
• Observe minimum distances depending on the category (A1, A2, A3)
• The overflight of persons usually falls within the specific category. 

Only under certain conditions:

• Drones over 900 g: FOCA authorization required
• Even with lighter drones, no person may be overflown
• In densely populated areas, this is often not realistically feasible

Yes, but only with authorization.

• Delivery drones usually fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
• Often over cities → gatherings of people & complex environments
• SORA authorization is strictly required

Not yet authorized. Passenger transport using drones is very complex and requires comprehensive certifications and approvals. The legal framework is still under development.

• There are no specific drone rules
• Indoor spaces are not considered airspace
• House rules and general safety regulations apply
• Caution is always advised

Yes, with additional safety precautions:

• The drone must have a green flashing light
• Visual line of sight (VLOS) is also mandatory at night
• In poor visibility, the maximum flight altitude may need to be reduced
