Every Israeli flight zone, on one map
Know before you fly: where it's allowed.
Instead of hopping between maps, publications and permits, one map that brings every Israeli flight zone together and gives a clear answer for any point.
- Clear
- Permit needed
- No-fly
How it works
Three steps, from a point on the map to a flight plan.
-
1
Open the map
Search for a place, or tap any point on the map.
-
2
Read the verdict
Clear, Permit needed or No-fly, with the height band and the sources the answer is based on.
-
3
Check and save
Run the pre-flight check and save the flight plan.
Everything you need before takeoff
The map, the verdict, the notices and the rules, in one place.
-
One map, every zone
Prohibited and restricted areas, weekend fly-bubbles and drone flight areas, in a single layer.
-
A clear answer for any point
Clear, Permit needed or No-fly, together with the height band.
-
NOTAM updates
Current notices relevant to drones, before takeoff.
-
Search the aviation rules, verbatim
Find the exact clause, quoted word for word, with its source.
-
Pre-flight check
A checklist that ends in a flight plan you can share.
-
Licences & fleet
Your drones, licences and documents, in one place.
An independent planning aid, not an official authority.
DroneOps brings together information from public sources to save you the hopping between publications. It is not the Civil Aviation Authority and does not replace it, and the data is not binding against the official publications. Every answer shows the source it is based on, so you can check for yourself.
Questions and answers
Can I fly a drone in Israel without a licence?
It depends on the drone's weight, the type of flight (recreational or commercial) and the location. The rules are set by the Civil Aviation Authority and change from time to time. DroneOps shows the relevant clauses of the regulations word for word, with a link to the source, so you can check what applies to your drone and your planned flight. The official text is what counts.
How do I know if an area is open for drone flight?
Pick a point on the map and DroneOps checks it against the zone layers: prohibited and restricted areas, weekend fly-bubbles and drone flight areas. The answer is one of three: Clear, Permit needed or No-fly, together with the height band and the sources it is based on.
What is a NOTAM and why does it matter before a drone flight?
A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) announces a temporary change to the airspace, such as a closed area or a new restriction. An area that is usually open can close for a limited time, so it is worth checking current notices before every takeoff. DroneOps shows the notices relevant to drones alongside the map.
What's the difference between a no-fly zone, a permit zone and a clear area?
A no-fly zone is airspace where flight is prohibited. In a permit zone you may fly only with the appropriate approval from the relevant authority. A clear point is one where the map's layers show no known restriction, but the general rules and current NOTAMs still apply. Every answer also shows the height band and its sources.
Is DroneOps an official permission to fly?
No. DroneOps is an independent planning aid that brings together information from public sources to save time; it is not a flight authorization. The data is not binding against the official publications, so before flying, verify against them and follow the permits required.
