Frequently asked questions

Iaşi is in Romania, where the UAS geographical zones are published by ROMATSA / AACR (Romania) under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. Always confirm against the official source before a flight.
Where can't I fly a drone in Iaşi?
Inside Iaşi's UAS geographical zones. Within 12 km of the centre canfly? tracks 13 restricted zones: 13 requiring authorisation. They are published by ROMATSA / AACR (Romania) and shown on the map at https://canfly.io/map.
How high can I fly a drone in Iaşi?
The EU open category caps you at 120 m above ground across Romania, and lower where a zone says so. Over the centre of Iaşi the restriction reaches 120 m above ground - meaning it applies to you from take-off all the way up to 120 m, not that 120 m is available to fly in. Whether you may fly there at all depends on the zone's restriction level, listed on this page.

Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Iaşi's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 12 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Iaşi's administrative boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears - which is what matters when you are deciding where to take off. Population 378,954 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-04-14). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Romania dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
