Drone flight approval request

What is an approval request?

The request asks for authorization to fly in a restricted or conditional zone, including pilot, drone, coordinates, altitude, date and purpose.

Format depends on the responsible authority indicated on the UAS map.

Drone Log does not submit on your behalf; it prepares a correctly structured document.

When do you need a request?

When the UAS map indicates coordination or prior approval is required.

When the operation exceeds open-category limits or NOTAMs impose special conditions.

Do not take off until you receive written confirmation.

What the generated request includes

Operating area coordinates, maximum altitude, time window and UAS identification.

Graphic schema and HG 859/2021 references.

Pre-filled fields from your map check.

Useful documentation

• Drone flight approval in Romania — complete guide In Romania, some drone flights can be performed without extra approval, while others require coordination before take-off. The difference depends on the UAS map, NOTAMs, exact location, altitude, time and purpose.
• AACR drone approval — when you need it and how to get it Not every zone requires AACR approval, but some flights in controlled or restricted airspace do. Knowing when and how keeps you legal — and avoids last-minute surprises before take-off. In practice, AACR appears as the civil authority when the UAS map or zone procedure requires coordination before flight; it does not replace ROMATSA checks or MoND clearance where those apply.
• Drone offences under HG 859 — MoI fines Fines can be serious if you ignore authorisation, CTR or MoND clearance. Prevention starts with area verification.
• MoND drone clearance — when you need it MoD approval is required for photography, filming and mapping flights — but not for everyone. In the open category, outside restricted zones, photography and filming do not require approval.
