DronView - web application
A special module of the AisView web application, a practical tool of AIM ANS CR, for pre-flight preparation, intended for operators and pilots of unmanned aircrafts (UAS, drones).
DronView serves primarily to be familiar with the organization of the airspace of the Czech Republic and for flight planning in the part of the airspace, where the operation of drone is possible.
In addition to guaranteed information in terms of airspace management and its planned use, the application enables the display of complex data intended for the needs of civil aviation, including meteorological data.
When using the application, please pay special attention to the following:
- appropriate setting of the filters of the intended height of operation and weight of the drone (the setting is related to the applied operating restrictions)
- correct entry or interpretation of altitude (AGL – height above ground level, AMSL – altitude above mean sea level)
- correct setting or interpretation of flight time or series of flights (time given in UTC - Coordinated Universal Time)
WARNING: The information obtained using DronView in DO NOT replaces the authorizations issued by the Civil Aviation Authority!
Terms of use of the AisView application
Czech drone rules
“Czech drone rules” is an educational project of Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic, aimed not only at hobby drone pilots who fly their drones for sport or recreational purposes and wish to expand their knowledge, but also at drone pilots who fly commercially. The mission of the educational project is not only to educate active pilots but also to inform everyone intrested in what's happening around them, especially those who care about what is flying above their heads.
Are you interested in drone operation rules? On the website www.czechdronerules.cz, you can find all the essential information, whether it's about regulations specifying where drones can fly or the rights you can exercise if you notice a drone near you or your property.
