Aerial Passage Through History — Rötteln Castle
This drone film offers a quiet aerial view of Rötteln Castle, revealing the structure and landscape from a perspective shaped by time, light, and scale.
My sincere thanks to Röttelnbund e.V. Haagen for granting permission to record this footage, and for nearly a century of dedication to preserving Rötteln Castle and its legacy for future generations.
Certification, Insurance & Compliance
Certification
EU Remote Pilot Certificate (A2 – Open Category)
The A2 certification confirms advanced training in flight safety, airspace awareness, and risk assessment. It allows operation in the Open Category with higher competency requirements, including the ability to fly closer to people where legally permitted, and to operate in built or semi-built environments subject to local rules.
Insurance
All drone operations are covered by commercial drone liability insurance, providing third-party coverage in accordance with EU and German aviation requirements.
Compliance
All flights are conducted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and applicable local, site-specific restrictions.
Flights are carried out only with the required permits, approvals, and landowner permissions in place.
The A2 certificate does not grant automatic access to restricted airspace, protected nature areas, or crowd flights.
