You can use this form to apply for your model or drone flight.
If your planned flight fulfils all conditions for a flight without individual air traffic control clearance in line with NfL 2023-1-2705, Section 2, the mandatory ATC clearance by DFS is already granted under the NfL and it is not necessary to additionally submit an application.
We therefore recommend that you check whether your planned flight within a control zone (CTR) fulfils the following conditions before submitting an application:
- Operation at an altitude of max. 50 m above ground; and
- The distance to the closest boundary of an aerodrome is at least 1.5 km; and
- Unaided visual contact to the aircraft is maintained continuously.
If one or more of the conditions in the above-mentioned NfL cannot be fulfilled, please provide the following information on your flight.
The application will be forwarded to the responsible air traffic control unit for processing and, if possible, an individual clearance will be issued.
As a rule, a processing time of 14 days is to be expected.
