Operational Authorization for Specific Category

In plain language

If your drone weighs more than 25 kg or your flight cannot meet the rules of the Open category, you must obtain an operational authorization from the Icelandic Transport Authority (Samgöngustofa) before flying.

Requirement as structured

An operational authorization from Samgöngustofa is required to fly in the specific category if the drone is heavier than 25 kg or the flight does not fall within the open category.

Original regulatory text

Ef dróninn er þyngri en 25 kg, eða eðli flugsins fellur ekki innan opna flokksins er hægt að sækja um heimild til að fljúga í sérstaka flokknum (specific category). Til að fljúga í sérstaka flokknum þarf starfræksluheimild frá Samgöngustofu.
