Czech Republic Drone Rule Research Notes

Civil Aviation Authority of the Czech Republic

Czech Republic

EASA rules plus Czech geographical-zone conditions

Czechia is practical, but Prague, castles, old towns, controlled airspace, and special zones need map checks and sometimes specific authorization.

Bring it: The famous city and heritage shots are exactly the places most likely to need extra checks.
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 CAA guidance and the Czech Drone Rules/AIM resources for UAS geographical zones.

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.

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.
