Allmänna regler i Danmark
Before choosing a location, always check the UAS geo-zone map. EU Open category rules apply across Danmark:
- Maximum altitude: 120 m AGL (Open category A3).
- Distance from urban areas: no closer than 150 m (A3 subcategory).
- VLOS: the aircraft must remain in sight at all times.
- Prohibited: over crowds, large events, military sites, critical infrastructure, aerodrome controlled airspace without permission.
- Private land: owner consent required to fly over and land on the property.
Below are recommended locations by region. Before every flight verify the zone is not in prohibited or restricted airspace.
Copenhagen region
Copenhagen Airport (CPH) — controlled or restricted airspace nearby.
Recommended spots (verify geo-zones):
- Open countryside within 150 m of urban areas around Copenhagen
- Rural fields near regional lakes
- Forest margins outside protected cores
Check geo-zones around Copenhagen and nearby aerodromes before every flight.
Northern Denmark
Recommended spots (verify geo-zones):
- Open farmland away from settlements
- Lake districts after nature zone verification
- Rural meadows suitable for VLOS flights
Always verify the official geo-zone map before flying in this region.
