Independence of Airport Flight Consent from Aviation Act Permissions

In plain language

Even if you have a standard drone flight permit from the government under the Aviation Act, you must still get separate permission from the airport manager and notify the police before flying near designated airports.

Requirement as structured

JCAB clarifies that obtaining a flight permission or approval under the Aviation Act does not exempt operators from the separate requirement to obtain consent from the airport administrator and submit prior notifications under the Act on Prohibition of Flying Small UAVs.

Original regulatory text

航空法に基づく許可・承認を受けている場合であっても、小型無人機等飛行禁止法に基づく同意の取得および事前通報は別途必要となりますので、ご注意ください。
