In Switzerland, if your drone weighs more than 250g, you need to register it. Drones over 500g require a license. Recreational drone flights are limited to a maximum altitude of 150m and should always be within sight.
For commercial drone operations in Switzerland, a special permit from the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) is required. Operators must also hold liability insurance with a minimum coverage of CHF 1 million.
No-fly zones in Switzerland include airports, heliports, hospitals, and military installations. Drones are also not permitted to fly over crowds, public gatherings, or at night. Be sure to check official maps for restricted areas.
Always maintain a safe distance from people, and respect individuals' privacy. Drone pilots must also yield to manned aircraft at all times. Familiarize yourself with the local regulations and be mindful of Switzerland's strict privacy laws.
