In April 2023, AU has been set up as a drone operator with the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority.

This means that by using drones, AU must ensure:

  • That drones are labelled correctly with registration number DNK000001571745r and that outdated marking is removed
  • That drones are insured in accordance with applicable rules (self-insurance applies)
  • That remote pilots have the right skills to fly the drone they are flying with
  • To establish a coordination procedure and a list of remote pilots

The filing of drone certificates is necessary in order to document the competences of the remote pilots, and a list of approved remote pilots can easily be drawn. It is therefore important to keep up-to-date registration in Workzone in accordance with the "filing practice for drone certificates" (only in Danish), which is the process developed at AU.
