Where can you fly a drone in Denmark?

Check the drone zone map before every flight.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In the open category you fly a drone under 25 kg below 120 metres and must be able to see it at all times. You may never fly over gatherings of people, whatever the size of the drone, and you keep a distance from bystanders at least equal to your flying height. Denmark has geographic drone zones around flight safety critical areas, security critical areas and Natura 2000 areas, and you must apply to Trafikstyrelsen to fly there. The zones are shown on the map at dronezoner.eu.

Practical info

Why

  1. The height limit is 120 m.
  2. Crowds are always off limits.
  3. Natura 2000 areas are drone zones.

Details

To fly over a private property you need explicit consent from the owner or the people who live there.

Tip

Check the zone map on the day you fly, since it is updated every hour.

What may differ

Without an A2 certificate you may not fly closer than 2 km to the hospital helicopter pads marked H in the red zones on the map.

Common misconception

If a drone is small, you can fly it anywhere you like.

What actually happens

Drone zones and the ban on flying over crowds apply to every drone, small ones included.
