Hey guys, I'm a French/Kiwi so got the gig to translate the French rules into English here..
There is a new rule for drones over 800 g that now must be registered prior taking off in France.
This can be done via the platform of Alpha Tango https://alphatango.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/login.jsp, and it is available in English (Hurray!).
Other than this, the French GeoPortail map is the main info local police will look at and won't care about private apps if used as a defense line when caught. With this in mind, you're free to use whichever you think is most convenient or informative of course. In terms of Notam(s), France has some yearly ones such as:
- do not fly on 14th of July (the whole country)
- avoid the Tour de France (copters around)
- and more traditional, any crowds, open air events/concerts for e.g.
In case interested to know more, I've taken the gig to explain it as much as I could here https://www.drone-made.com/blog/france-drone-laws
Hope this will come in handy as it is a pain to find some of this info if you don't speak French.
Safe flights! |
