Belgium
Register or certify firstEU rules with Droneguide geozone checks
Belgium is small, dense, and heavily mapped. Plan around geozones first, especially Brussels, ports, airports, and controlled areas.
The trip, step by step
- Bring it
- The drone may be easy to bring, but Belgian geozones and local permissions can block the shot.
- Register it
- Use the national aviation authority portal unless you are already registered as a UAS operator in another EASA member state where that registration is accepted.
- Fly it
- EU/EASA Open Category rules apply. Operator registration and pilot competency depend on drone class, weight, camera/sensor equipment, and where you fly.
- Map check
- Use the official Droneguide map from skeyes for UAS geographical zones and operating conditions.
Before you travel
- 01Confirm operator registration, remote pilot competency, and insurance rules before travel.
- 02Check the national UAS map or authority guidance for the exact launch area.
- 03Get written permission for restricted zones, protected places, events, and private or managed launch sites.
Operating notes
- Max altitude
- 120 m AGL in Open Category unless a national UAS zone sets a lower limit.
- Commercial work
- Low-risk commercial work can fit Open Category when all limits are met. Specific Category work, higher-risk filming, BVLOS, crowd proximity, and controlled-zone work need authorization.
