Operational Authorisations 

To ensure aviation safety, UAS Operators may be required to hold an Operational Authorisation to conduct advanced operations in complex environments, beyond visual line of sight, or operations in restricted or prohibited airspace. If you plan to retain a UAS Operator for a complex operation or in an area which may be contained within a restricted or prohibited area, you should seek a UAS Operator who holds the appropriate Operational Authorisation. 

The UAS Operators shown below have consented to sharing their information. It is not an all-inclusive list of all Operational Authorisation holders in the State, nor does it include foreign-registered UAS Operators who may hold permissions to operate in Ireland.  

Please confirm that your UAS Operator holds the required Registration, Authorisations, Remote Pilot Certificates, and insurance to safely conduct your flight.
