In plain language

You must wait until your flight plan status turns green ('Fliegt') in the Dronespace app before taking off. In control zones, this green status is your official clearance to fly.

Requirement as structured

A flight plan is only considered active when it reaches the green 'Fliegt' status, which in control zones serves as the takeoff clearance from air traffic control.

Original regulatory text

Bitte beachten Sie, dass der Flugplan erst als aktiv gilt, wenn er den grünen „Fliegt“-Status erreicht hat. In der Kontrollzone bestätigt der Erhalt des „Fliegt“-Status die Startfreigabe der Flugverkehrskontrollstelle.
