Flying a drone in Romania
Romania applies the EU drone rules (Regulation (EU) 2019/947). Most leisure and light commercial flying falls in the open category, below 120 m above the ground and away from people, and operators of drones weighing 250 g or more, or carrying a camera, register with the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (AACR). The UAS geographical zones on this map are published by ROMATSA, Romania's air navigation service provider, together with its drone-related NOTAMs. Many zones around airports, military sites and state institutions require an authorization before you fly: request it through the official channels below, and allow time for it to be processed.
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 need to register my drone in Romania?
- Yes, if your drone weighs 250 g or more, or carries a camera (unless it is a toy): as an operator you register with the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (AACR) and put your operator number on every drone you fly.
- How high can I fly a drone in Romania?
- In the open category, no higher than 120 m above 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 NOTAMs for drones in Romania?
- Yes. Alongside ROMATSA's UAS restricted zones, GeoPilot shows the drone-related NOTAMs ROMATSA publishes, as time-limited zones. They change quickly, so shortly before you fly, check ROMATSA's own publication and the current NOTAMs.
- 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.
