EASA rules with dense national airspace checks

Luxembourg is small and airspace-sensitive. Confirm EASA registration, then check the exact launch area before assuming a quick flight is available.

Bring it

No routine tourist import permit found; the compact airspace and local restrictions are the practical issue.

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 Luxembourg DAC drone guidance and national airspace information before launch.

Before you travel

  1. 01Confirm operator registration, remote pilot competency, and insurance rules before travel.
  2. 02Check the national UAS map or authority guidance for the exact launch area.
  3. 03Get written permission for restricted zones, protected places, events, and private or managed launch sites.

Operating notes

120 m AGL in Open Category unless a national UAS zone sets a lower limit.
