HOW TO USE MAP and CHECK RESTRICTED AREA: Many layers are confusing and some require additional study, but what you need are the following layers. Hope it will help. If you will have questions about the exact locations - let me know, and I'll try to help. Will update comment with changes and critical findings. The most important layers to consider: Forbudsområder for RPAS, Droner og Modellfly (Prohibited areas for RPAS, Drones and Model Aircraft) Forbudsområder fra NSM (Prohibited areas from National Security Authority) Prisons (prisons) Vernområder (Protected areas like National parks) Fly- og helikopterplasser (Airplane and helicopter sites) Laws are strict, but not always authorities are so strict. There are three main sources of problems - Oslo center, Airports, and posting videos from restricted areas. The first two may lead to fines and loss of drone, the last just to the removal of content.

Well the Norwegians sure know how to take the fun out of flying.

I fell into the drone/fpv rabbit hole recently and got pretty excited about starting this hobby but now, I don't know... If you are to follow the rules completely there will be practically no enjoyment due to the constant anxiety, worrying if you're breaking some rule/law. In fact, there are so many restrictions now that you can almost guarantee that you will break at least one law each time you fly. Also, with the cost of the RID modules being half the cost of a moderately priced drone, this hobby will be dead before you know it and only the enterprise users will exist. If it's fun, you can be sure governments will kill it.

Hello, nice video an thank you for it and can I ask you some questions? - How could anyone prove you that you are above 120 metres? - How often do people get caught? I have studied your flight maps in norway and if I got it right, there should be no flying on trolltunga and trollstigen, however there are plenty of videos from this destination. I cant imagine there is a police officer on Trolltunga because it is like 10 hours trail? - Does DJI warns you that you are in restricted area in norway? I know that DJI uses some old data that are not often so accurate and it could get you in trouble - Do people rather report that you use drone or is police everywhere? Because when I was in Sweden I saw first police after 14 days, because of low density... Thank you!

A lot of good and quite reasonable or practical questions. - Authorities may ask you to prove that you were flying below 120m and DJI makes logs of your flights. - The closer to Airports, to military objects or prisons, the faster pilots get caught. :) - DJI warns, but often even where flights are allowed. That is why they warn but prohibit. (I'm my opinion) - Yes, you may not ever see police in Norway depending on the area you are and it is quite common to report illegal behavior. Rules are for everyone, but if you follow them or not it is your personal decision, we just wanted to inform viewers about their existance.

Thank you for watching! Very reasonable questions and I had to search and it is not as easy as I assumed. Norwegian insurance companies have limited offers themselves and only for customers with the local residents. With UAS Norway, you would need to become a member first and then they offer insurance and it looks not so transparent and since I'm, not a member, I-m not sure how the process is made... is it just a discount in Norwegian insurers or their own insurance. I have found quite a good offer from CoverDrone, but it seems they offer insurance for Canada, New Zealand, Australia, but not for the USA. So the only suggestion I have DroneInsurance (.com), which looks to be a US-based insurer with Worldwide coverage options. A great benefit is that insurance can be as short as one day only, so should be a great solution for 2 weeks journey. Hope this will help!

Hi and thank you for watching our video and visiting the channel. Using ANY drone with a camera requires A1/A3. Toy drones are under 250gr and WITHOUT cameras. No there is no system to inform authorities before a flight if it is not a restricted area. A private non-profit organization makes the map you mentioned, I believe they know that users would be happy to find an English version, but still not implemented. There is no official map from a government organization, so you have to follow the rules you learned while passing the course. And we were not shooting Lofoten yet, hope to visit this year.

Hi, thanks for sharing! I wonder if there are any rules for walking around the cities to make some videos public? Two days ago I went to town so I walked about 40 minutes so I got closer to town so I passed the police station and then suddenly the police car came back to their garage, while I was already walking past them, but they stopped me and they called me so I had to turn back to them, they asked what I was doing around the building! Of course, I said that I do my hobby, filming around in public, nothing special. and I was actually on my way to another place, I just walked past the building that everyone else can walk, there were no signs so I could see that it is not allowed to film nearby. it was very uncomfortable to be stopped to get a warning that if they see me nearby they will report me. I feel it was unnecessary to do that to me. google map shows the building much better than my "one side" video of the building, and I did not enter the building either, I just walked by. not even tried to stop there either. so I wonder why! I was in public! like everyone else! Now I wonder if I should continue my hobby or not be allowed to be in Norway.

Hi and thanks for watching! Of course it is not pleasant to meet police officers and get warning or restriction if you think that you are just filming. On other hand, shooting photo or video we have to respect private life and follow GDPR rules. In general it is not allowed to shot private live and people, unless it is public area or event. I’m a lawyer and can interpret it incorrectly, so we avoid shooting and publishing people faces, private property, etc. unless we ask for permission.

HI, I am a Norwegian citizen (born and bred). I´m sorry that you had a bad experience with the police. You did nothing wrong (based on your account of the events). This is just another classic example of "we don´t know what you´re doing, and we don´t like it, so we´re inflating our ego a little bit, and using our police power to give you some unlawful directives, just to intimidate you. This is because we don´t know the laws (even if we enforce them), so we make up some BS just to let you know who is in charge". You can film just about anything you like in Norway, as long as it is in plain view from public space. "Just about", means that you can´t film into somebody´s bedroom or bathroom, even if you do it from public space. If persons are recognizable in pictures or video, you may certainly not post it anywhere unless the persons in question has given permission. There is an exception from this rule, which is that: If the footage is considered "public interest" (like a news report), then you may post it.

I had similar encounters in Oslo as well. One time when I was in Vigeland Park as an Asian tourist (from Philippines). I was taking photos and have a particular interest in photographing pets playing in the park, because I plan to have a collection of cute dogs and cats of Norway for my social media. But then, a Norwegian guy angrily approach me for photographing his dog and demanded that I erase every photo of his dog from my camera. As a guest of a country, I silently obliged. It really felt weird and the guy gave me an impression of paranoia. Never have I encountered that in Sweden or any other country I visited. Another time, I was randomly taking photos of my companions walking out of the train and into the train platform, to photograph the moment, then a person in uniform, probably a police officer, approach me and ask to see my photo collection. He seems to be checking what I was just taking picture of. Seemingly suspicious of my activity. As a guest of a country, I silently obliged. I was doing the same thing in UK, Hongkong, Singapore, etc. but never experience this. Norway can be weird sometimes.

A question about not being allowed to fly over people without their permission. What if you don't intentionally fly over them. It just so happens that you are making a cinematic recording of a scenery, following a certain flight path, and then suddenly, someone appeared or walked underneath the drone's flight path. Is that equally illegal? Is flying past a person equivalent to flying over a person?

I am not legal advisor, so take my answer with a grain of salt. Rules read that you have to take all possible precautions and not intentionally (!!!) fly over uninvolved persons.

Hi! Sorry for the late response, but seems like Belgium's rules are more strict. If you have your reg,. the number on the drone and valid EU insurance, then you are OK to fly the drone in Norway. Many layers are confusing and some require additional study, but what you need are the following layers. Hope it will help. Forbudsområder for RPAS, Droner og Modellfly (Prohibited areas for RPAS, Drones and Model Aircraft) Forbudsområder fra NSM (Prohibited areas from National Security Authority) Prisons (prisons) Vernområder (Protected areas like National parks) Fly- og helikopterplasser (Airplane and helicopter sites) Airports are included in "Prohibited areas for RPAS, Drones and Model Aircraft", but Torp airport in Sandefjord doesn't show up on this layer. I don't know why.

@@CrazyTroll thanks. Yeah in Belgium it a small country but lot of CTR and military zone. I will fly between Ersfjordbotn and Sommarøy. I visited the area in 2019 in a fjord tour but I had no drone at this time. For this year I took contact with a guide to tell him that I want to fly far from the airport. Just hope to not have a snow storm on that day. Do i have to show I’m the pilote in wearing a brassard/armlet around my arm with “Drone Pilote” on it ? Thanks for your advice for the app

@@stargate445 Hardly can imagine how dense are no-fly zone in Belgium. It is much easier in Norway compared to Belgium in my opinion. Wearing a yellow jacket is the right way, but if your guide is well advised and involved, I doubt anyone will be able to see you in this area. I have seen examples of less responsible flying with officers nearby, so my advice is to follow common sense during your visit. The area you mentioned is remote from Tromsø airport, so I wish you have nice weather and enjoy your trip! 👍

Hi Chingshiuan Ong, As we mentioned in the video, DJI Mini 2 requires both Registration and Insurance. All drones with a camera are subject to this rule, regardless of weight.

Hi, I am also unsure after going through your video if we neede A1/A3 license for C0 subcategory drone - i.e

@CrazyTroll

Жыл бұрын

When we prepared the video and researched the latest rules, there were no drones with C0 markings on the market. New models appear and if you have physical marking by manufacturer C0 (not just the weight of the drone, but Marked!), then completed A1/A3 course is not required. If there is no marking, the A3 subcategory for drones over 250gr and A1 for drones under. But even if it is C0 drone and you can fly without A1/A3 exam, you need to register and hold insurance anyway. These questions are separated from each other. Here is FAQ on CAA Norway website: Question: Do I have to register? Answer: Yes, everyone flying a drone with a camera or MTOM more than 250 g must register at flydrone.no. If you live in (or have your principal place of business in) a EU-country, you must register Source: luftfartstilsynet.no/en/drones/faq---drones---all/ So check latest rules before you take off😉

Hi, as mentioned in the video - any drone with camera requires license and insurance. The best if to check you your insurance company terms. I used to recommend CoverDrones with free offer, but sometimes I hear it might be quite expensive even for few weeks. Worth checking anyway!

@CrazyTroll

Some of your questions are very sensitive and you should understand that I'm a drone pilot, but not a legal advisor. 1) FPV drones are legal but should be used with an observer, Long Range FPVs must be authorized by CAA Norway in specific areas, times, etc as an exemption. I have one FPV, but use it only with observed and quite seldom in remote locations. 2) Fine for lack of insurance is probably can be considered as flying without proper registration, which could be around 8000 Nok, but this is just a guest. 3) Prisons have a 1 km, NoFly Zone. 4) Open Category is sufficient.

I have translated the most important layers/filters in the highlighted comment. Unfortunately, there is no better solution so far. Here is an extract from the Norwegian FAA: "For all types of drones that weigh more than 250 grams or have a camera, you must register at flydrone.no." So if there is a camera - need to register, for more than 250 - online courses. And to fully comply you need valid insurance as well.
