The regulation of the CAA for the was published in the Government Sheet drones. Amateurs should state them.
Government Gazette / B / 3152 / 30-9-2016 was published regarding the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) drones. Or rather for the Unmanned Aerial Systems or otherwise SMEA.
Those who are interested can do it download in pdf format from the official websiteσελίδα of the national printing office.
The SMIEA definitely had to come under a legal framework at some point just for the safety of manned flights. But in this regulation we discern a legislative strictness, especially for the amateurs of the species, that is, for those who will buy a "game” to play in their spare time.
The new requirements are that everyone will have to declare their flying device through an electronic form and indelibly write the license number on it. So far so good, but we've seen 8km flight bans around airports which means that on almost all of our islands that have at least one airport drone flights are banned. In fact, if we remove the forbidden zones such as camps, public buildings, cities, gatherings of people, etc., the flight space becomes much smaller.
And since we are talking about gatherings of persons, the law prohibits the flight of drones by amateurs over gatherings (or if you want from the open category as it states). If you are planning to film your outdoor wedding, you will probably have to forget about it, or you will have to pay the professional who holds the special permit for it and whom the regulation has taken care to grant.
In the category of professional use of drones, the legislation provides for the possession of a license after examinations, age over 18, certification of English and Greek knowledge and arrives up to a flight plan filing.
Of course, the obligation to file a flight plan to the CAA binds all SMPs flying farther than 50 measures by their operator. That is, they have flight and communication capability beyond 50 measures.
We are waiting to see, on the one hand, the implementation of the basic rules of this regulation (declarations, permits, etc.) but also the subsequent application of.
For now if you want to see the 8 mileage limits from the airports of Greece (military, politics and clubs) then you can use the freemapstools website, go to the map it contains and state below it where it says Options - Radius Distance the number 8 km. So every time you click on the map above you will see a green circle with a radius of 8 km that will inform you of the prohibition limits.
