Reporting in from Hungary

[Szepy_lc8]

Hi fellow Mavicers,

Just got my MP and I'm really excited about it!
Batteries are full but the manual is still has a lot's of unread page.
I'm sure the experience gathered here will help me a lot soon - and I hope I'll have the chance to contribute in it too!

Thanks Dirkclod, I'm at the very beginning of my learning curve - never edited a video footage before and only have very basic quadcopter skills so I try to enjoy and improve myself as much as possible.

Welcome! I haven't received my M2P yet, but my wife is from The Czech Republic and we would love to see your footage!

How restrictive are the laws on drones over there?

I know Hungary and The Czech Republic do not like the EU telling them what to do.

I'm really not too deep in the current Czech politics and I'd not start any debate about the current Hungarian either.
Drone laws are still country-based laws under 150kg drone weight.
To be honest if I'd like to follow the rules I'd not be able to takeoff.
1. You need to apply for a temporary airspace permit at least 30days before the flight - but the authorities have a maximum of 60 days to answer so it's even better to ask for it at least 60days ahead. Every flight permit costs about 15$ + 80$ if you want to fly in some nature reserve - if they even let you fly there as most of them are prohibited areas.
2. If your request is accepted you have to report in to all the airports/helipads/hospitals/etc. in the neighborhood of the flight.
3. After you've landed same as the previous.

In reality I've heard about professionals who have applied for 5-7 permits in February, paid for it and still didn't receive any answers. So in reality I try to keep low profile, stay in uncontrolled airspace well below 120m and far away from the most visited areas... That's what we currently got.

Wow! Sorry to hear that. As we say in the US Marines, "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission."

We hope to visit Hungary one day since her dad's father was from there.

Take care and fly safe!
