In Ireland, drones are regulated by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). If you plan to fly a drone in Ireland, you must follow certain rules to ensure safety for yourself and others.
All drones over 1 kg must be registered with the IAA. Pilots need to complete a training course and obtain a Remote Pilot License (RPL) to operate drones legally in Ireland.
Drones must be flown at a maximum height of 120 meters and always within the visual line of sight of the operator. Avoid flying near airports, prisons, government buildings, and densely populated areas.
Special permission is required to fly drones near specific areas such as airports, military installations, and other restricted zones. Always adhere to these regulations to avoid legal consequences.
Respect the privacy of others when flying drones. Avoid recording or photographing individuals without their consent, and do not fly over private property without permission.
Be prepared for emergencies while flying drones. Always have a plan in case of a drone malfunction or unexpected circumstances during the flight.
