Drony i licencja na rynku nieruchomości

Paid filming is a commercial operation

Under EASA and NAA rules, any paid flight — including property photography, video tours or aerial surveys for a client — is a commercial operation. This means: mandatory operator registration, competency certificate and insurance.

Even a one-off photo shoot for a friend's small business counts as commercial if payment is involved. Revenue from any flight removes the recreational exemption.

Dlaczego filmowanie nieruchomości zazwyczaj wymaga formatu A2

Property locations are often in residential areas or near people. The A2 certificate allows flight at 30 m from uninvolved persons (5 m in Low-Speed Mode) with a C2-class aircraft — giving closer, more flexible framing.

Without A2, A1/A3 limits you to greater separation distances. In urban and suburban settings this can significantly restrict camera angles and property coverage.

Ubezpieczenie pracy dronem na terenie posesji

Real estate agencies and vendors often require proof of drone insurance. Third-party liability (OC) insurance protects against claims if an incident damages property or injures someone.

Additional permits for property flights

If the property is in controlled airspace (CTR), ATC permission is required — apply via utm.ans.lt. Some municipalities may require an additional permit for flights over private land.

Check geo-zones before every shoot using the utm.ans.lt map. Warszawa and Kraków city centres and surrounding CTR areas may have restricted zones.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Czy format A1/A3 wystarczy do fotografii wiejskiej?

Na terenach wiejskich oddalonych od ludzi, operacyjnie może wystarczyć A1/A3 z odpowiednim samolotem. Jednak każdy płatny lot nadal wymaga rejestracji operatora i ubezpieczenia komercyjnego, niezależnie od podkategorii.

Can I film for a real estate agency without a licence as a one-off?

No. Even a single paid flight is a commercial operation. Operator registration and a competency certificate are required.
