What still applies when you fly in Romania
The EU-wide rules apply in Romania as they do across the EU and EEA. The zones above are only half of what binds you:
- Register as an operator once, in your country of residence. The registration is valid across the EU and EEA.
- Open, Specific or Certified. Most recreational and light commercial flying is in the Open category, with its A1/A2/A3 subcategories and a 120 m height limit.
- Class marking and remote ID obligations follow the drone, not the country.
- The zones above are the official set - they are law in Romania, and they change. Confirm anything critical against the authority named below.
