Before flying, ensure you meet EU unmanned aircraft system (UAS) requirements in Holandii:

• Registration: UAS with a camera or weighing more than 250 g must be registered as a UAS operator via the national system / EASA.
• Category: determine whether you fly under Open, Specific, or Certified category rules.
• Insurance: civil liability insurance is recommended, especially for commercial flights.
• Flight authorisations: Specific category operations may require operational authorisation.

Always verify current requirements with Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) and EASA.

For every flight you must verify that the location is permitted for UAS operations in Holandii:

• Use the official UAS geo-zone map showing prohibited, restricted, and sensitive areas.
• Check nearby aerodromes: AMS, RTM, EIN, GRQ, MST — controlled or restricted airspace applies around them.
• Review NOTAM notices for temporary flight restrictions.
• Consider altitude: Open category A1/A3 typically up to 120 m AGL, at least 150 m from urban areas (A3).
• Avoid flying over crowds, military sites, critical infrastructure, and private property without permission.

Before every flight inspect your UAS:

• Propellers and motors — no cracks, debris, or looseness
• Battery — charged, undamaged, correctly inserted
• GPS / compass calibration in an open area away from metal structures
• Return-to-home (RTH) and failsafe settings verified
• Firmware and remote controller updated
• Camera gimbal and sensors clean and secure
