Entry into geographical zones
You do not require authorisation for flights within geographical zones, if you can comply with the operating conditions specified for the geographical zones in question. The state aviation authorities may authorise deviations from the specified operating conditions in justified cases. The responsibility depends on the respective flight location. The table below lists the state aviation authorities and the documents required for each application.
Depending on the state aviation authority, an application is divided into a general permit and an individual permit. The general licence issued is valid for a specific period, usually two years. Different criteria must be fulfilled depending on the federal state. The general authorisation of deviations can also be issued by the state aviation authority in the form of a general ruling. In this case, you can make direct use of the authorisation published by the state aviation authority without having to submit an application. An individual authorisation is required if the use goes beyond the scope of the general authorisation, in particular if deviating ancillary provisions are required. The individual licence is limited in terms of location, subject matter and time.
