- Can I fly my hobby drone?
Do you own a recreational drone and want to make a film of your vacation with aerial images of Dévoluy?
The operation of unmanned aircraft is covered by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 of May 24, 2019 on rules and procedures applicable to the operation of unmanned aircraft. This regulation has been applicable since December 31, 2020.Pending the availability of the above-mentioned training courses and until January 1, 2023, the leisure training courses available on the Fox Alpha Tango website or from the federations (FFAM and UFOLEP) allow operation in open subcategories A1 and A3.
Note: remote pilots operating drones weighing less than 250g in these sub-categories are not required to take this training. They are, however, required to familiarize themselves with the aircraft user manual supplied by the manufacturer.
> It is therefore up to the owner of a remotely piloted aircraft to find out about the legislation in force before flying his or her drone.
Here are the links to the institutional sites regulating the operation of drones in the so-called open category (for recreational drones):
Ministry of Ecological Transition website ;
Géopartail map of prohibited or regulated flight zones;
Alpha Tango portal for registering your drone;Finally, for your information, the Bure plateau is subject to an Arrêté de Protection de Biotope and is therefore regulated. For any flight over the plateau de Bure, a request for authorization is mandatory.
