Hi @Wrighty and welcome to Grey Arrows!

Alas, I can’t advise on Malta, it’s a bit hot here in the UK for me at the moment, never mind somewhere like Malta!

Although, perhaps it’s cooler there than it is here currently :rofl:

Hmmm … whilst their sentiments aren’t at fault, their wording is interesting …

vi & vii - within? in excess off? or just specifically AT 120m?

viii - “shall not be flown within 120 meters of or above” but at xi - “shall not be flown at a height of more than 60 meters above ground or water” … so already difficult to get to 120m above.

v - “shall not be flown overwater unless ….” lots of conditions. Strange, one would think that’s the safest place for it to be flown, as far as public safety is concerned.

Good info, though!

Odd indeed, especially as Malta is surrounded by water,

Hi To all,

I am going to Malta next week for my Daughters wedding, just wondered if anyone has been there with their Drone, if so what if any are the restrictions. i am taking my new Mavic Pro?

Also i am flying with Thomas Cook does anyone know if they are ok about it?

Thanks in advance

Moved your post to a pre-exiting thread on Malta, that may have the information you need.

I need to go and visit my sister (a Maltese resident for the past 30+yrs) so will definitely feel comfortable taking my drone with me.

I’ve always found the Maltese to be pretty relaxed about most things since my family first moved there in 1975 / 6. Thanks for the info.

Had this email from Malta Transport. Can’t get to see the new certificate EASE registration in Malta as the first EU country I flew. Any ideas?

Sorry can’t upload the email. Legally flown in Malta/ Gozo many times. The email said my registration number has changed (EASA) . They gave me a new reg. number but can’t see it on MT, TM, EASA or UAS websites. Doesn’t expire until July, so wondering if it is a scam (EASA certificates show your passport number) . Any serious comments appreciated.

I enquired as I’m off to Malta in November as got this reply:

I hit the link and registered. Required insurance and passport details AND prior information on flight trips!
Also costs €25 per annum to register!

Did it anyway. I’ll let you know how I get on…
