Apply for approval of an aviation event
Description
Aviation events are associated with particular hazards due to the increased traffic density and a large number of visitors. They must therefore be meticulously planned, meticulously executed and strictly controlled.
The responsible aviation authority checks whether the program and the participants offer the guarantee that the event will be held safely and, in the case of event approval, regulates necessary safety and noise protection precautions.
During the event, the aviation authority monitors compliance with these requirements.
You do not need a permit for aviation events in which only model aircraft and non-motorized aerial sports equipment participate under an already issued ascent permit, which are not subject to mandatory traffic licensing and with which no passengers are transported.
- As the organizer, you have taken out organizer's liability insurance to cover any third-party damage.
