Drone Regulations

We are an EASA EU Specific drone company license holder

Every drone pilot must adhere to air traffic rules and strict safety requirements. Drone Department is aware of and always works according to Dutch/European drone laws and regulations for flying drones. Thanks to our full EASA EU Specific license (Remote Operator Certificate), we are allowed to do much more with our drones than most other drone pilots and drone companies. If necessary, we can apply for exemptions for special situations such as flying beyond visual line of sight, so always contact us to ask what is possible and what is not.

We are allowed to fly throughout Europe:

• Within 25 meters of people or buildings on a professional film set (Also within built-up areas when the flight location is closed to non-film set members).
• EVLOS and FPV missions!
• In civil and military CTRs, including Schiphol and other airports
• Within 25 meters of objects, ships, vehicles (traffic), railways etc.
• Within 25 meters horizontal distance from congested areas of cities, towns or settlements.
• Up to a maximum height of 120 meters and a distance within sight of the pilot.
• Flying in the dark
• And more… always contact us to ask what is possible and what is not!
