Prohibition of aerial photography in restricted areas during heightened readiness

In plain language

If Sweden is in a state of heightened readiness (or during other times decided by the government for defense reasons), you are strictly prohibited from taking photos or recording sensor data within or of military restricted areas, unless you have obtained a special permit.

Requirement as structured

When Sweden is in heightened readiness, or at other times the Government decides with regard to Sweden's defence readiness, photography or similar registration from aircraft may not be carried out within or of restricted areas designated by the Government for military reasons under 1 kap. 12 § of the Aviation Act (2010:500). The Government or the authority it designates may, however, grant a permit in individual cases.

Original regulatory text

När det råder höjd beredskap, eller under annan tid som regeringen beslutar med hänsyn till Sveriges försvarsberedskap, får fotografering eller liknande registrering från luftfartyg inte utföras inom eller av sådana restriktionsområden som bestämts av regeringen av militära skäl enligt 1 kap. 12 § luftfartslagen (2010:500). Regeringen eller den myndighet som regeringen bestämmer får dock i enskilda fall besluta om tillstånd.
