Every day, hundreds of drones fly simultaneously and must share the airspace with airplanes and military aircraft. One of the DGAC's roles is to coordinate all these actors. To achieve this, the DSAC has established four main regulatory principles:<\/p>\n

Predefined operational drone scenarios<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All drone flights must fall within four very specific operational scenarios (S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4). Otherwise, the drone operator must submit a safety file to the DSAC (French Civil Aviation Authority), which will then issue a specific flight authorization. The categorization of flights within the predefined scenarios is subject to several criteria: (i) Overflight of a populated area; (ii) Overflight of third parties; (iii) Navigation within visual line of sight (VLOS) and\/or beyond visual line of sight (with a maximum horizontal distance between the drone and the remote pilot); and (iv) The maximum weight of the aircraft (to limit the risk in the event of a crash).<\/p>\n

Prior requests for drone flights<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Flights in certain scenarios must be declared in advance because they have been deemed critical enough to warrant the attention of aviation regulatory authorities. These scenarios are primarily of three types:<\/p>\n
