Obtaining a drone permit is a mandatory step, and it's essential to secure this permit through the Civil Aviation of Madagascar. While drones can capture breathtaking aerial shots, their usage is subject to strict regulations, and these rules extend to your film production. Filming with a drone might be possible in certain private areas, but even this requires thorough verification during pre-production planning. Common sense dictates that flying drones over governmental areas is a definite no-go, and national regulations also outline specific flight distances that must be adhered to. By ensuring you have the necessary drone permit and understanding the applicable rules, your film production can incorporate stunning aerial shots safely and in full compliance with Madagascar's regulations. We apply for a drone permit on your behalf.
