Drone no-fly zones in Belgium
skeyes publishes Belgium's zones through Droneguide, and they can be exported - but only after creating a free account, so there is no open endpoint for us to read. Droneguide is free and is the official check for Belgian flights.
Who publishes Belgium's drone zones?
Under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15, every EU and EEA state must define and publish its UAS geographical zones - the areas where drone flight is prohibited, restricted, or requires authorisation. The regulation says the zones must be published; it does not say in what format, or under what licence. That is why coverage across Europe is so uneven, and why Belgium is not on the canfly? map.

What still applies when you fly in Belgium
The EU-wide rules apply in Belgium exactly as they do in the 16 states canfly? does cover - only the zone data is missing here, not the law:
- Register as an operator once, in your country of residence. The registration is valid across the EU and EEA.
- Open, Specific or Certified. Most recreational and light commercial flying is in the Open category, with its A1/A2/A3 subcategories and a 120 m height limit.
- Class marking and remote ID obligations follow the drone, not the country.
- National geographical zones still bind you - they are law in Belgium whether or not any third-party map shows them. Check the official source above.
Frequently asked questions
Can I fly a drone in Belgium?
Yes, under the EU-wide rules in Regulation (EU) 2019/947 - the same operator registration, remote-ID and open/specific/certified categories that apply across the EU and EEA - but you must stay clear of Belgium's UAS geographical zones. canfly? does not carry those zones, because Belgium publishes its drone zones through an application that requires an account, so there is no open dataset to read. Check them against skeyes (Belgium) before you fly. The official source is https://map.droneguide.be/.
Where do I check drone no-fly zones in Belgium?
With skeyes (Belgium), which is the authority responsible for publishing Belgium's UAS geographical zones under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. The official source is https://map.droneguide.be/. It is free to use.
Why doesn't canfly? show Belgium's drone zones?
skeyes publishes Belgium's zones through Droneguide, and they can be exported - but only after creating a free account, so there is no open endpoint for us to read. Droneguide is free and is the official check for Belgian flights.
Does Belgium publish machine-readable drone-zone data?
Yes - as of 2026-07-11, the data exists in machine-readable form, which is why Belgium is listed as blocked rather than missing on canfly?'s coverage matrix. What is missing is permission to reuse it, not the data itself. See https://canfly.io/coverage.
