Maximum Duration for Flight Permission Applications

In plain language

When applying for a flight permit, the requested period should normally be 3 months or less, but you can request up to 1 year if you will fly continuously under the exact same conditions.

Requirement as structured

MLIT states that when specifying a flight period in an application, the duration should in principle be within 3 months, but may be extended up to a maximum of 1 year for continuous operations with no changes to the application details.
