Drone in Aix-en-Provence — frequently asked questions.
Drone in the heart of Mazarin / Cours Mirabeau?
The protected perimeter requires ABF + City Hall + DGAC authorization. 15 to 30 days lead time. Often better to pair with a terrestrial scan (narrow streets = limited drone value).
Flight at Arbois park?
Easy zone (few sensitive facilities nearby). Simple AlphaTango declaration, 5-day lead time. Ideal for business-park extension orthophotos.
RTK georeferencing accuracy?
±2 cm planimetric and altimetric. Compatible with Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan GIS.
