Unmanned Aircaft – UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) – Drones
On this page you will find an overview of information sources relevant to the operation of UAS(drones) in the airspace of the Czech Republic.
Geographical Zones
Based on Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 of 24 May 2019 on the rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft (Article 15 – Operational conditions for UAS geographical zones, paragraph 3), UAS geographical zones are published in digital format.
An explanation of the geographical zones can be found below in the series of measures of general application LKR310 to LKR320.
Currently published zones are available here.
DronMap - digital map for UAS(web application)
The digital map for pre-flight preparation, established under § 44j of Act No. 49/1997 Coll. on Civil Aviation, is intended for operators and remote pilots of unmanned aircraft (UAS, drones).
DroneMap is primarily designed to provide an overview of the structure of Czech Republic airspace, the occurrence of geographical zones and their associated conditions, and to support flight planning.
In addition to providing guaranteed information on airspace structure and its planned use, the application also enables the display of comprehensive data relevant to civil aviation, including meteorological data.
When using the application, please pay particular attention to:
- setting the visibility of individual map layers,
- applying the correct filters for the intended flight altitude (settings are related to applicable operational restrictions),
- correct entry or interpretation of altitude (m – meters / ft – feet; AGL – above ground level / AMSL – above mean sea level / ELEV – aerodrome elevation),
- correct setting or interpretation of flight time or series of flights (UTC – Coordinated Universal Time / CET – Central European Time).

Czech Drone Rules
Czech Drone Rules is an educational project of Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic (under the auspices of the Civil Aviation Authority and the Ministry of Transport). It is intended not only for hobby drone pilots who fly for sport or recreational purposes and want to expand their knowledge, but also for drone pilots who operate drones professionally – whether commercially or non-commercially. The mission of the project is not only to educate active drone pilots, but also to raise awareness among the general public who care about what is “flying above their heads.”
Are you interested in drone operation rules? On www.czechdronerules.cz, you will find all the essential informationinformation – from simple, easy-to-understand summaries of rules on where drones can fly, to information about the rights you can exercise if a drone causes you harm.

Measures of General Application(OOP) - Czech only
CAA - Overview of geographical zones for unmanned systems
The Civil Aviation Authority, in agreement with the Ministry of Transport, has issued a series of Measures of General Application (OOP) LKR310 to LKR320, which, effective from 1 September 2025, establish additional national conditions for the open and specific categories of unmanned aircraft operations falling under the scope of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947.
These rules primarily concern operations near airports, in special airspaces (danger areas, restricted areas, prohibited areas, etc.), in densely populated areas, or in the vicinity of roads, protected areas, networks, or critical infrastructure.
The operational rules set by these OOP apply exclusively to unmanned aircraft operations; manned aircraft operations are not affected.
The conditions established by these OOP will continue to be subject to further discussion and are expected to be amended and updated over time.
