## Regulatory framework

- Jurisdiction: Austria
- Responsible aviation authority: [Austro Control Österreichische Gesellschaft für Zivilluftfahrt mbH](https://www.dronespace.at/)
- Framework type: national rules within an inherited framework
- Inherited from: EU/EASA framework — [https://droneassistant.com/drone-laws/europe](https://droneassistant.com/drone-laws/europe)
- Published rules held for this jurisdiction: 160

Austria applies the inherited EU/EASA framework. Rules below marked as framework rules are inherited rather than uniquely national, and a national rule may add to, restrict or clarify them.

Legal status is stated for every rule below: binding law, AMC/GM (acceptable means of compliance and guidance material), authority guidance or other non-binding material. Guidance is never a statutory maximum in itself.

## Registration and pilot requirements

### Registration

- Question: Do I need to register my drone in Austria?
- Answer state: Conditional
- Scope: Whether a drone or its operator must be registered before flying, and under which threshold.

Registration in Austria is governed by a published mass threshold of 0.25 kg, alongside the further conditions cited below. Whether it applies to a given flight depends on those conditions, each cited to its rule.

Published figures:

- Weight threshold: 0.25 kg (binding law)

Operating categories distinguished by the published rules: certified, open, specific.

What changes the answer:

- Flight altitude below 120 m (altitude)
- Kinetic energy above 80 joules (other)
- Take-off mass at or above 250 g (weight threshold)

Rules behind this answer:

- **Authorization for Cross-Border UAS Flights** (§ 24k) — binding law; national rule; Primary legislation — binding law. Cross-border flights with Class 1 and 2 unmanned aircraft into Austrian territory are only permitted if the aircraft has Austrian nationality, the flight is permitted under applicable EU regulations, or an authorization has been granted by Austro Control GmbH. [Official source](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40236150/NOR40236150.html)
- **Carrying Proof of Registration and Insurance** (§ 24j (4)) — binding law; national rule; Primary legislation — binding law. The operator or the remote pilot must carry proof of valid insurance and the registration confirmation during every flight and present them to supervisory authorities upon request. [Official source](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40236149/NOR40236149.html)
- **Duty of UAS Operator to Identify the Pilot** (§ 169 (5)) — binding law; national rule; Primary legislation — binding law. On request of the district administrative authority, the operator of an unmanned aircraft identified by its registration number must state who flew it as pilot at a given time, giving that person's name and address — immediately, or within two weeks of service of a written request. If the operator cannot give this information, the operator must name the person who can; that person is then obliged to provide it. Rights to refuse information do not apply against this request. [Official source](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40280178/NOR40280178.html)
- **Mandatory Drone Liability Insurance** (§ 24j (3)) — binding law; national rule; Primary legislation — binding law. Operators of unmanned aircraft must ensure that every unmanned aircraft they operate is properly insured for liability under §§ 146 to 168 of the Luftfahrtgesetz, insofar as EU law does not apply. Open-category drones that do not require registration are exempt. In the open and specific categories and in model-flying clubs under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2019/947, one blanket liability policy may cover all of an operator's drones instead of one policy per drone. [Official source](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40280183/NOR40280183.html)

## Insurance

### Insurance

- Question: Do I need drone insurance in Austria?
- Answer state: Conditional
- Scope: Whether third-party liability insurance is mandatory, and from which threshold.

Drone insurance in Austria is published with a minimum third-party cover of 20 kg. Whether cover is required for a given flight depends on the published conditions below.

Published figures:

- Weight threshold: 20 kg (binding law)

Operating categories distinguished by the published rules: open, specific.

What changes the answer:

- Take-off mass below 20 kg (weight threshold)

Rules behind this answer:

- **Carrying Proof of Registration and Insurance** (§ 24j (4)) — binding law; national rule; Primary legislation — binding law. The operator or the remote pilot must carry proof of valid insurance and the registration confirmation during every flight and present them to supervisory authorities upon request.

## Visual line of sight (VLOS)

Requirement (acceptable means of compliance / guidance material, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)): VLOS is determined by whether the remote pilot can keep the unmanned aircraft in unaided visual contact. EASA guidance treats the maximum possible VLOS distance as the smaller of the attitude line of sight (ALOS) and the detection line of sight (DLOS); anything beyond that is BVLOS.

- Distance: Depends on aircraft size and visibility
- What that means: European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) publishes a method for working this out. The requirement to fly within visual line of sight is itself binding; it is this way of calculating a practical distance that comes from acceptable means of compliance / guidance material, so the result is not a statutory maximum in itself.
- Legal status of the governing material: acceptable means of compliance / guidance material (not a statutory maximum in itself)
- Governing layer: inherited framework (eu-easa)
- Depends on: the aircraft's characteristic dimension
- Depends on: the ground visibility at the site
- Published expression: ALOSmax = 327 x CD + 20 m
- Published expression: ALOSmax = 490 x CD + 30 m
- Published expression: DLOSmax = 0.3 x ground visibility
- Worked example published by the authority: 1 m (rotary wing) — 347 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 1 m (fixed wing) — 520 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 2 m (rotary wing) — 674 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 2 m (fixed wing) — 1010 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 3 m (rotary wing) — 1000 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 3 m (fixed wing) — 1500 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 3.5 m (rotary wing) — 1164.5 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 3.5 m (fixed wing) — 1500 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 4 m (rotary wing) — 1328 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 4 m (fixed wing) — 1500 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 4.53 m (rotary wing) — 1500 m
- Worked example published by the authority: 4.53 m (fixed wing) — 1500 m

- Visual observer: An observer may assist the remote pilot, but the remote pilot remains responsible for maintaining visual line of sight and the operating range is not extended.
  - Legal status: acceptable means of compliance / guidance material (inherited framework)
- First-person view (FPV): UA observers may also be used when the remote pilot conducts UAS operations in first-person view (FPV). In any case, including during FPV operations, the remote pilot is still responsible for the safety of the flight. (acceptable means of compliance / guidance material)
  - The remote pilot remains responsible for the safety of the flight at all times.
  - A UA observer may be used and must be situated alongside the remote pilot.
- Visibility: Visibility is part of the published method: DLOSmax = 0.3 x ground visibility

Layers that apply:

- Inherited (eu-easa), acceptable means of compliance / guidance material, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA): VLOS is determined by whether the remote pilot can keep the unmanned aircraft in unaided visual contact. EASA guidance treats the maximum possible VLOS distance as the smaller of the attitude line of sight (ALOS) and the detection line of sight (DLOS); anything beyond that is BVLOS.
  - Method: The maximum possible distance results from the smaller value of ALOS and DLOS. Anything beyond that is considered BVLOS.
