In plain language
You can apply to Trafikstyrelsen for an exemption from the VMC aerodrome limits under the same public-benefit, necessity and certificate conditions; necessity is not required if the aerodrome ordered the job.
Requirement as structured
Trafikstyrelsen may permit a derogation from the VMC aerodrome rules in § 9 a, stk. 1-3 where the drone operation serves a public-benefit, research or commercial purpose; where the purpose is commercial, the operation must be necessary and the task substantially frustrated, made more expensive or otherwise impaired if carried out other than by drone; and the remote pilot must hold a competency certificate. The necessity condition does not apply where the publicly approved aerodrome itself commissioned the task.
Original regulatory text
Stk. 4. Trafikstyrelsen kan give tilladelse til at stk. 1-3 fraviges, hvis 1) droneoperationen har et samfundsnyttigt, forskningsmæssigt eller kommercielt formål, 2) hvis formålet er kommercielt, at droneoperationen er nødvendig, og at formålet med opgaven i væsentlighed forspildes, fordyres eller på anden måde forringes, hvis den skal gennemføres på en anden måde end med en drone, og 3) fjernpiloten har et kompetencecertifikat. Stk. 5. Stk. 4, nr. 2, anvendes ikke, hvis den offentlig godkendte flyveplads, har bestilt opgaven.
