Flight rules in Aurillac
The shooting plan in Aurillac is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Aurillac-Tronquières (LFLW)): some camera moves are replanned at lower height or on another axis after coordination with air traffic control.
A drone shoot follows open-category rules in clear areas and moves to the specific category (STS-01, prior declaration) as soon as it flies over a populated zone; productions receive insurance certificates and permits. Full regulations and rates: aerial video across France →
