Planning to fly your drone in Switzerland? Here are some essential guidelines and regulations you need to be aware of before taking off.
Switzerland has specific rules regarding drone flights to ensure safety and privacy. Make sure you comply with the following:
All drones weighing more than 250g must be registered with the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). Make sure to obtain the necessary permits before flying.
Respect the no-fly zones, especially around airports, heliports, and sensitive areas such as government buildings.
Do not fly your drone higher than 150 meters above ground level. Maintain a safe distance from people, buildings, and vehicles.
Respect people's privacy and avoid capturing images or videos without their consent.
Do not fly drones at night unless you have special authorization from FOCA.
It is recommended to have liability insurance to cover any potential damages or accidents caused by your drone.
Choose open areas away from crowds, roads, and buildings. Be mindful of nature and wildlife while flying your drone.
