Drone Regulations - Specific category

If the drone weighs more than 25 kg, or the nature of the flight does not fall within the open category, you can apply for a licence to fly in the special category.

Flights in the special class require an operating authorisation from the Icelandic Transportation Authority. There are three different methods for obtaining an operational authorisation:

  • SORA, Specific Operations Risk Assessment

  • PDRA Pre-defined risk assessment

  • STS (Standard Scenarios)
