In order to handle and use an unmanned aircraft/drone a permit from the Swedish Transport Agency is required. But in order to operate it in the vicinity of an airport a special permit from the air traffic control tower is required on each individual occasion if the flight is planned in Sundsvall CTR closer than 5 km from any part of the runway, or further away higher than 50 m off the ground. Please consult the LFV Dronechart to see if that is the case for your planned UAS-flight by following this link;
If a special permit from ATC is required according to the LFV Dronechart, you have to first submit the details of your planned UAS flight using the App “Dronerequest” in advance. Then proceed to contact the Air Traffic Control tower by telephone +46 60-646207 during published Aerodrome Control Tower (ATC) service hours of operation to get the special permit verbally. If contact by telephone fails, the flight has no special permit even if the flight is planned outside published Aerodrome Control Tower (ATC) service hours of operation. These can be found on this website;
