How to use an official map
- Search the exact launch point and inspect the entire planned route.
- Open every overlapping polygon and read its height, time and permission conditions.
- Check temporary restrictions and the national NOTAM source.
- Verify land access, protected-area rules, people and privacy separately.
- Save the current source and any written authorisation with your flight documents.
Common questions
Is the map inside my drone app the official map?
Usually not. A manufacturer map may warn or block the aircraft, but the national aviation authority or air navigation provider publishes the legal geographical zones. Use the national source in the table.
Does a clear map mean I am allowed to fly?
No. The map answers the airspace question. You must still satisfy the operating-category rules, ground access, privacy, wildlife and any site-specific restrictions.
Why do some countries link to an AIP rather than a drone map?
Not every authority publishes a dedicated public drone viewer. Where none exists, the aeronautical information publication and current NOTAM source remain the authoritative public sources.
