How to get authorization to fly in a restricted zone
Steps and links from official sources, checked in September 2026. Rules change: confirm on the official website (ULC) before you fly.
- Check the geographical zones (CTR, restricted areas and others) on DroneMap. Official page
- Where a mission plan is required (for example in a CTR), create it in the PansaUTM mission creator and get it accepted by PAŻP. Official page
- Before take-off, check in with the DroneTower app; in a CTR, wait for the tower controller's clearance in the app. Official page
- Flying a DJI drone? With the authorization in hand, request an unlock on DJI FlySafe. DJI's unlock does not replace the authority's permission.
Check zones and weather before you fly
The Drone Weather Forecast app shows these zones on a map with their real shapes and height limits, next to the hourly wind, gusts, rain, KP index and satellites for your drone model.
Frequently asked questions
Where can't you fly a drone in Poland?
Around airports, military bases and other restricted areas. The app's map has 28 zones in Poland where you cannot fly from the ground up without an authorization; the official map is PAŻP DroneMap. Temporary restrictions can appear at any time, so check before every flight.
Do I need permission to fly a drone near an airport in Poland?
Yes. Flying inside an airport zone or other restricted airspace needs an authorization. Responsible authority: Polska Agencja Żeglugi Powietrznej (PAŻP). The official steps and links are on this page.
How high can you fly a drone in Poland?
Up to 120 m (394 ft) above the ground under the general rules, unless an authorization allows more. Near airports the limit can be lower, or zero. Lower inside control zones (CTR).
Where does this zone data come from?
From DJI FlySafe's GEO zones: no official zone dataset in Poland can be used in the app yet. DJI's GEO zones are a safety layer built into DJI drones, not the official airspace: the binding zones and rules are the ones published by the aviation authority, Urząd Lotnictwa Cywilnego (official map: PAŻP DroneMap).
Zone counts and names: DJI FlySafe, as shipped in the Drone Weather Forecast app on October 14, 2026. A safety guide, not the official airspace: the aviation authority publishes the binding zones and temporary restrictions.
