Prohibited and restricted UAS zones in Latviji

Main aerodromes and their impact zones. Around each aerodrome the geo-zone map marks FRZ and CTR areas. Flying there without permission is prohibited.

• Riga (RIX) — Capital FRZ
• Liepāja (LPX) — Coastal
• Daugavpils (DGP) — Eastern region

In Latviji UAS flights are prohibited or strictly restricted in:

• Military training areas and bases
• Border protection strips
• Seaports and strategic facilities
• Protected government sites

These zones are marked on the geo-zone map as prohibited (red) or restricted (amber).

Flights in nature areas may be restricted to protect wildlife:

• National parks (Gauja, Ķemeri, Slītere) — permission may be required
• Strict nature reserves — flights often prohibited
• Ramsar wetlands and bird protection areas
• Nesting and migration sites during sensitive seasons

Contact park administration or check official rules before flying over nature sites.

Recommended verification sequence:

1. 1Open the official Latviji / EU UAS geo-zone map
2. 2Enter flight coordinates or mark the area on the map
3. 3Review colour coding: red = prohibited, amber = restricted, blue = sensitive
4. 4Check NOTAM notices for temporary restrictions
5. 5If a zone is restricted — contact the competent authority for permission
6. 6Record the check date and result in your flight log
