## 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.

1. Check the geographical zones (CTR, restricted areas and others) on DroneMap. [Official page](https://dronemap.pansa.pl/)
2. 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](https://uav.pansa.pl/)
3. Before take-off, check in with the DroneTower app; in a CTR, wait for the tower controller's clearance in the app. [Official page](https://pansa.pl/dronetower/)
4. Flying a DJI drone? With the authorization in hand, request an unlock on [DJI FlySafe](https://fly-safe.dji.com/unlock/unlock-request). 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 DJI's colours, next to the hourly wind, gusts, rain, KP index and satellites for your drone model.
