Note
The use of unmanned aircraft in any national airspace system is regulated by the applicable National
Aviation Authority. The regulations for flying unmanned aircraft are subject to change. It is the user’s
responsibility to know and adhere to the current laws for operating in the national airspace system. Delair
is not obliged to inform users of changes to unmanned aircraft laws. Delair and Authorized Distribution
Partners provide comprehensive training for the unmanned aircraft system which includes recommended
procedures to ensure the safety for the remote crew members as well as the surrounding environment. It
is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe operations and adhere to safety and security measures required
by the National Aviation Authority. Delair is not responsible for ensuring safe and secure operation of
unmanned aircraft by the user.
6.1.1 Check the flight permission

• Check for existing rules and standards with your local Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA).

unmanned aircraft. In some countries you need permission from defense organizations, the
police, or a national geography institute to take pictures.
6.1.2 Check the weather
• In the days before the flight, check the TV weather broadcast or weather websites. This gives
you a good general idea of the weather for the next three to four days.

various weather websites. You can also contact the national meteorological office or a local
