Deviation permit for VMC airfield restrictions

In plain language

You can apply to Trafikstyrelsen for a permit to bypass the distance and altitude limits near VMC airfields. To qualify, the flight must have a societal, research, or commercial purpose, you must hold a competency certificate, and if it is commercial, you must prove the task cannot reasonably be done without a drone.

Requirement as structured

The Danish Civil Aviation Authority (Trafikstyrelsen) may grant permission to deviate from the restrictions in stk. 1-3 if the operation has a societal, research, or commercial purpose, meets necessity criteria for commercial tasks, and the pilot holds a competency certificate.

Original regulatory text

Trafikstyrelsen kan give tilladelse til at stk. 1-3 fraviges, hvis 1) droneoperationen har et samfundsnyttigt, forskningsmæssigt eller kommercielt formål, 2) hvis formålet er kommercielt, at droneoperationen er nødvendig, og at formålet med opgaven i væsentlighed forspildes, fordyres eller på anden måde forringes, hvis den skal gennemføres på en anden måde end med en drone, og 3) fjernpiloten har et kompetencecertifikat.
