DGAC / AlphaTango
French Guiana
Register or certify firstFrench/EASA rules plus local UAS zones
Treat French Guiana like France for drone paperwork: AlphaTango/EASA registration where required, then check the official UAS map for the exact launch area.
The trip, step by step
- Bring it
- No special tourist import ban was confirmed, but flight permission and map restrictions are the practical limiter.
- Register it
- Use AlphaTango when France is the relevant EASA registration state, or carry accepted EASA operator registration from another member state.
- Fly it
- EU/French Open Category rules apply, including operator registration and pilot competency where the drone and operation require them.
- Map check
- Use Geoportail UAS restrictions before every flight; French Guiana has airport, security, environmental, and local constraints.
Before you travel
- 01Confirm EASA/French operator registration and pilot competency.
- 02Check Geoportail for the exact coordinates.
- 03Obtain written permission for restricted zones, managed sites, or professional work.
Operating notes
- Max altitude
- 120 m AGL in Open Category unless a UAS geographical zone sets a lower limit.
- Commercial work
- Low-risk work may fit Open Category; higher-risk, BVLOS, crowd, controlled-zone, or professional operations need authorization.
