Conditional Permission for Flight Over Private Space in Built-Up Areas

In plain language

You may fly your drone over your own private property in built-up areas, but only if there is no public present. You must keep your speed and altitude low enough to ensure the drone cannot fly or fall outside the boundaries of your private property.

Requirement as structured

Flying over private property in built-up areas is permitted provided there is no public present and the speed and altitude are adapted to limit the risk of the aircraft leaving the private space.

Original regulatory text

En agglomération, le survol de mon espace privé avec un aéronef sans équipage à bord sans présence de public est possible sous réserve de respecter une vitesse et une hauteur adaptées à l'environnement immédiat (bâtiments, arbres …) et permettant de limiter les risques d'évolution ou de chute en dehors de mon espace privé.
