General information in plain language


Welcome to our website.


Here you will find information on drone flights.

A drone flies in the air like an airplane. 

A person controls the drone.

This person is called: the drone pilot

The drone pilot is not inside the drone.

The drone pilot is on the ground.

You cannot fly a drone everywhere.

There are rules for that.

There are places where you need permission. 

For example, if you want to:

Map of Germany

That’s why we made a map.

The map is a computer tool.

The map shows all places of Germany.

The computer map shows you where

  • you can fly drones
  • you need permission to fly

The rules are different everywhere in Germany.

You can find the link to the map here:

How to use the map with a computer:

First choose where you want to fly your drone.

For example: Cologne

Then click on Cologne with your mouse.

Move your mouse over Cologne.

Make a circle with the mouse.

Now you see icons on the map.

You need permission in these places.

You can fly drones in places without icons.

You don’t need permission there.
