Flying a drone in Norway

Norway applies EASA's open-category drone rules, and operators register at flydrone.no. Norway's UAS geographical zones are published by Luftfartstilsynet, the Civil Aviation Authority, at dronesoner.no. Many are nature reserves, sensor-restricted sites and the zones around airports. dronesoner.no is a guidance tool, not the AIP or NOTAM, so check the current NOTAMs before you fly. Before flying with a camera or another sensor you also register its use with the National Security Authority (NSM): select a zone to read its conditions.

How to read the map

Each zone is coloured by what the publisher says it means for a flight. Select one to see its altitude limits, schedule and the authority to contact.

  • Prohibited — The source states that flight is not permitted here.
  • Authorization required — Flight may be possible with prior authorization from the named authority.
  • Coordination required — The source states that no authorization is needed, but the operator must coordinate before flying.
  • Information only — The source classes this as advisory: a hazard or activity to be aware of, not a restriction on flight.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to register my camera in Norway?
Before flying with a camera or another sensor you register its use with the National Security Authority (NSM). That is separate from registering as a drone operator at flydrone.no.
How high can I fly a drone in Norway?
In the open category, no higher than 120 m from the nearest point of the ground. A UAS geographical zone can set a lower limit, or prohibit flight altogether: select a zone on the map to see its limits.
Does the map show temporary drone restrictions in Norway?
No. Luftfartstilsynet's download, which GeoPilot syncs, is a monthly snapshot and carries no restrictions announced only by NOTAM. Check dronesoner.no and the current NOTAMs before you fly.
Is this map run by the authority, or an authorization to fly?
Neither. GeoPilot is an independent planning tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by the national publisher; it shows the zones that publisher releases, synced automatically. It is not an authorization, and the official source always wins: confirm there, and get any permission a zone requires, before you fly.

Data

  • Airspace data is published by the national authorities of each country covered. GeoPilot is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
  • View sources and freshness

GeoPilot is an independent planning tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any aviation authority. It shows data published by national authorities, which may be incomplete, out of date or simplified in processing, and it does not authorize any flight. Always check the authority's own publication and current NOTAMs before flying.
