Drone restrictions in Romania: what to check before take-off

Restrictions combine permanent UAS map zones, NOTAM, MoD clearance and local rules. See also prohibited zones article.

Types of drone restrictions

Permanent UAS zones on the ROMATSA map plus temporary NOTAM and military perimeters (HG 859).

Airport protection areas extend beyond visible runways — verify official map, not road distance.

Ground rules (crowds, private land) add to airspace limits.

UAS map and NOTAM

Start with the Romania UAS map for your coordinates.

Re-check NOTAM on flight day.

Major cities

Bucharest — see Bucharest drone guide.

Cluj — see Cluj guide.

Constanța — see coastal guide.

A1/A3/A2 and airspace

Open-category certificate does not override UAS zones. See A1/A3 and A2.

Sub-250 g drones still face prohibited airspace and NOTAM.

Read fines article for consequences.

Approvals and MoD clearance

Conditional zones may need flight approval.

Military zones need MoD clearance.

Drone Log helps prepare requests — it does not issue clearances.

Quick checklist

UAS map → NOTAM → MoD if needed → civil approval → ground check → log.

Do not fly if official sources leave doubt.
