Standard Validity Period for Flight Permissions

In plain language

Flight permissions are normally granted for up to 3 months. However, if you plan to fly continuously under the exact same conditions, you can get a permit valid for up to 1 year.

Requirement as structured

MLIT states that the validity period for a flight permission or approval is generally up to 3 months, but can be extended up to 1 year if the applicant will fly continuously without any changes to the application details.

Original regulatory text
