In all European countries I've looked the regulations of (Portugal and France), it's illegal to run drones without prior permission from the relevant authorities (in Portugal if it's near the coast, you need permission from the coast guard too), over people, and over protected places (which in France it's most of it).
- lencastre 3y agoThis is great!! In Germany there is a map with the areas that are strictly forbidden (all private areas of villages and cities, residential areas, and I think all governments buildings and security at-risk facilities), those that require permission (certain city areas and parks), and those which no permission required (middle of the woods). Also the height matters, often only above 100 m is allowed — there is a whole ordnance about this which surely is constantly being updated. My co purchased a drone and I had to test before shipping it abroad and I risked running for 1 minute in my garden area flying over 100 m. But then I found out that I could film our head office premises closer than 50 m height but not the streets around it. Finally I found that the parking place of the park could be filmed but not the park. All this was duly cataloged online with overlapping areas. In the end too much hassle. When the drone was abroad (in South America) no trouble whatsoever…
