Pre-flight NOTAM Check

Verified from official sources
Version 1Effective -Verified 24 August 2026

In plain language

Before flying in areas activated by a NOTAM, or areas overlapping them, you must check the latest published NOTAMs to ensure you are still allowed to fly.

Requirement as structured

Drone operators must check published NOTAMs prior to flying in zones activated by a Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) or in zones overlapped by them.

Original regulatory text

However, for zones activated by a Notice To Airmen (NOTAM), or when another zone is overlapped by one of these zones, the drone operator will still have to check the published NOTAMs prior to flying to make sure the situation has not changed and he/she is still allowed to fly.
