In plain language

Around Finnish airports there is a control zone with height limits that increase with distance from the runway. In practice you check the CTR conditions in Droneinfo, keep to the published maximum height for your location, and coordinate with air traffic services when required.

Requirement as structured

In a restrictive UAS geographical zone established around a controlled or AFIS aerodrome, UAS operations within the zone are permitted during the ATS unit's opening hours only with the permission of the air navigation service provider, and outside the ATS unit's opening hours only with the permission of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom.

Original regulatory text

ATS-elimen aukioloaikoina UAS-toiminta alueella on sallittua ainoastaan ilmaliikennepalvelun tarjoajan luvalla.
