Confidential Flight Plan Reporting for Public Interest

In plain language

If you are flying for a public interest purpose and need to keep your flight plan secret, do not submit it normally through DIPS; instead, contact the MLIT Unmanned Aircraft Safety Division directly.

Requirement as structured

MLIT requires operators who need to keep their flight plans confidential for public interest purposes to contact the Flight Plan Reporting Desk of the Unmanned Aircraft Safety Division directly.

Original regulatory text
