Dear Mr Rattassep,
Introduction
The DroneRules project aims at building a comprehensive and high quality online presence in order to
create THE reference web portal on the use of drones in the European Union (EU) + Norway and
Switzerland.
Funding
The DroneRules project is funded by the COSME Programme of the European Union.
Purpose
The purpose of the DroneRules project is to increase awareness of the current environment and
constraints related to light RPAS operations (< 25 kg) in each EU member state + Norway & Switzerland.
Project Focus
The DroneRules project focuses on 3 principal topics:
- Safety & Regulatory matters;
- Privacy & Data Protection;
- Insurance matters.
- Professional drone operators (without manned aviation experience);
- Leisure drone users (Flying Toys; Recreational drones; Model Aircraft).
Consortium Partners
The DroneRules Consortium partners consist of: SpaceTec Partners, Belgium (Coordinator); BHO Legal,
Germany; Blyenburgh & Co, France; EuroUSC International, UK; GOPAcom, Belgium; Global Aerospace,
France/UK; and Trilateral Research & Consulting, UK.
Target Audience
The DroneRules portal targets two main audiences:
- Professional drone operators (without manned aviation experience);
- Leisure drone users (Flying Toys; Recreational drones; Model Aircraft).
Additional Information
For additional information, see https://ec.europa.eu/easme/en/drone-ruleseu-rpas-rules-regulation-portal
The initial edition of the portal can be found at: http://DroneRules.eu
Note: The current content of this portal is available in 22 European languages.
National Regulatory Profile (NRP)
In order to explain the drone-related regulatory situation in each of the EU member states + Norway &
Switzerland, in a simple way (understandable to the target audience), a National Regulatory Profile
(NRP) template has been produced by Blyenburgh & Co.
This NRP template has been reviewed by 3 National Aviation Authorities (BE, FR, NL),
EUROCONTROL/JARUS Secretariat, and the European Commission.
Two different documents will be created going out from the NRP:
- High Level National Regulatory Overview (Objective: Give a rapid impression of the national
situation)
- Detailed National Regulatory Overview (Objective: Give a more detailed overview of the national
situation)
Both of these documents will be made available for each referenced country on http://DroneRules.eu in
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (and possibly in additional languages).
A comparison document, including all referenced countries, will also be produced and made available.
