Travel check

Taking your drone on holiday? Pick your destination – Hoverpoint puts together from the country rules what you need to know and do before you travel.

DestinationDrone from your hangar (optional)

I live in an EASA state (EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein)

Am I allowed to fly there?

Basic rule

Allowed

Operator registration

Required

Required from 250 g or with a camera or sensor; with your German operator ID from the LBA you are already registered in Denmark.

Your registration from your EASA state of residence is valid here – you don't need a second one.

Competency certificate

Your EU competency certificate (e.g. A1/A3 or A2) is recognised here.

Insurance

Required

Liability insurance is mandatory for every drone that is not a toy – including camera drones under 250 g. For privately used drones under 250 g with a maximum of 19 m/s only the minimum cover is waived, not the insurance; check that your policy covers Denmark.

Remote ID & marking

EU rule: your operator ID must be visible on every drone; drones with a C1, C2 or C3 label broadcast it via Remote ID.

Maximum altitude

120 m

Special rules

For tourists

You fly with your German operator ID and your EU competency certificate. Keep to the Danish distances from airfields (8 km for instrument, 4 km for visual airfields, 2 km from rescue helicopter landing sites) and check the zones in advance on the map at droneregler.dk/dronezoner.
