If you want to organize an aviation event, you need a permit.

Aeronautical events, i.e. public events of competitions or demonstrations involving aircraft, require a permit.

Note:
You do not require a permit for aviation events in which only unmanned aerial vehicles and non-motorized aerial sports equipment participate within the scope of an already issued ascent permit, which are not subject to the traffic licensing requirement and with which no passengers are transported.

• Fully completed application for approval of an aviation event
• Consent of the aerodrome operator (unless the organizer is also the aerodrome operator) or, in the case of other sites, proof of the right of use
• Program of the event including flight program
• Map at a scale of 1:25000 showing the location and dimensions of the event site including the demonstration area and safety distances.
