UAV laws in Romania

[DarthSLR]

Due to the possibility of a business trip to Romania, I have decided to check the UAV laws
According to Drone Laws in Romania | UAV Coach (2019),

"...

1. To fly a drone in Romania, you must register it with the AACR. If you are a foreigner, it appears that a registration with your country of citizenship could take the place of registering with the AACR, but we recommend checking with the AACR to confirm this before traveling.
2. In addition to registering, each flight must be pre-approved by the Ministry of Defense.
3. ...."

I have stopped reading after #2
Seriously??

I had a long chat with a local droner in Romania and it is indeed quite complicated to get your drone up there, especially if you intend to take photos. Anyways, after our chat, I summed it all in this research combining the information from in case useful for others. Hope this helps a little. If useful, flying a drone weighting less than 500 g & non fitted with a recording device will avoid you all the paperwork.

Thank you for your answer and a great link. I guess, I won't be taking my M2P.

If you need more info, you can sign up for the Forum & ask Stanly more about local Romanian drone rules. This guy is an absolute awesome dude that knows it all and is happy to contribute for the sake of flying well in his country.

EU loves bureaucratic paperwork. Just follow along and you probably get permission to drone lots of stuff. I’ll find out this summer

KAP still rules, even in the EU! It is really widely accepted there and some of the best kite aerials come from Europe.

If you do not intend to fly within a restricted or controlled airspace, you will not need this.
