Insurance and flight permits
If you own a drone, you may be subject to an insurance or flight permit requirement. If these requirements apply to you, you must add them to the operator details on record.
Mandatory insurance
Whether or not you must insure your drone depends on where and what type of drone you fly. Insurance is required based on EU legislation for private users with a drone weighing 20 kg or more.
We highly recommend you to get insurance for physical or material damages caused to third parties by accidents with drones. Check whether your liability insurance covers damage caused by drones.
Flight permit required
No flight permit is required to fly in the open category. If you fly in the specific category, a flight permit is required.
Please visit the website of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) for more information about the categories or flight permits.
