I live in the Israeli Golan. There are a bunch of military bases around, and regulations about drones - since, naturally, you don't want to get your drone shot down or cause a national security incident.
I'm wondering about a small drone - specifically, the DJI Spark drone. It's 143×143×55mm in size, and weighs 300g.
What sort of license would I need to fly this drone in the Israeli Golan?
The rules for drones in Israel are listed in this government document, no license is needed for personal flights but these rules must be followed (minor grammar corrections):
- Read carefully the flight manual of your drone
- Fly with a full line of sight visual contact
- Do not fly over 50 meters altitude
- Do not fly closer than 2 km from any airport or airfield
- Join Israeli flight club for model aeroplanes http://www.aeroclub.org.il/
Do not:
- fly nearby any aeroplanes
- Do not fly above people and buildings, at least 250 meters range from them
- Do not fly in a no-fly zone
- Do not fly carelessly in a way that will cause danger for human life
- Do not fly commercial flights without a license
As to if you can fly in the Israeli Golan, you should be fine. Specific no-fly zones are listed on this map.
