Tactical Overview

Welcome to the Swiss Drone Map

The essential tool for drone pilots and UAV (UAS) operators in Switzerland. Use this drone map to visualize national and cantonal flight restrictions, no-fly zones (NFZ), and aviation obstacles to ensure airspace safety and compliance with EASA regulations.

Drone Flight Score — Know Before You Fly

The Drone Flight Score gives every pilot an instant 🟢 Excellent / 🟡 Flyable / 🟠 Difficult / 🔴 Unsafe rating for the current hour and the next 7 days. Select your drone profile — DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, FPV 5", or Avata — and wind, gust, rain, cloud, temperature, and Kp-index thresholds adjust automatically to your aircraft's rated limits. Hover any score to see exactly which factor is limiting your flight window.

Key Flight Restrictions in Switzerland

  • Airports & Airfields: 5km safety radius and Control Zones (CTR). Approval required from ATC or airfield operators.
  • Critical Infrastructure: No-fly zones around nuclear power plants, prisons, energy/gas stations, and military zones.
  • Nature & Wildlife: Protected zones for wildlife and forest reserves (often seasonal restrictions).
  • Obstacles: Avoid buildings, power lines, and masts.
  • Temporary Restrictions: Always check NOTAM and DABS (Daily Airspace Bulletin Switzerland) before flight.

Plan Your Flight Safely

Use our interactive map to check your flight path. Violation of airspace regulations can lead to severe fines.

Swiss Drone Guide — Interactive Regulations Wizard

New to Swiss drone law or need a refresher? The Swiss Drone Guide is an interactive step-by-step wizard that walks you through every regulation — from registration and drone classification (C0 / C1 / C2 / Legacy / DIY) to A1 / A2 / A3 subcategory rules, FPV requirements, and insurance. It ends with a knowledge quiz and a personalised pre-flight checklist so you can confirm you're legal before takeoff.

Easy Fly Zones

Looking for a safe spot? Check our Easy Fly Zones: Areas at least 30m or 150m away from settlements, forests, railways, and power lines, outside of any NFZ.
