Drone regulations in Romania

For a drone to be allowed flying legally in the Romanian airspace, it must be registered as an ultra-light aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 500 grams. Of course, Romania’s air traffic control is responsible for this. However, documents from German aviation authorities are accepted. So you can mail your General Advance Authorization to the Authoritata Aeronautica Civila Romana (AACR) and then the requirement is fulfilled.

Unfortunately, registration is not enough to fly with the drone in Romania. All flights must be notified in advance to the Ministry of Defense with location and time.

Therefore I would recommend traveling only with drones to Romania weighing less than 500 grams (e.g., DJI Spark or the Yuneec Breeze).

Maximum flight altitude: No specification of altitude limits found. This is probably coordinated with the Ministry of Defense.

Maximum horizontal distance and FPV: Like in Germany, the visible contact with the drone must also exist in Romania during the flight.

Since January 2015, we travel around the world. In our backpack we carry a camera drone which we use to capture the best places from a bird’s perspective. First we travelled with a DJI Phantom 2. But now we use a Yuneec Typhoon H.
