Plan a trip
Airspace & permits
This is the page to get right. Everything else on this site affects whether someone enjoys their trip; this one affects whether they get into trouble.
This page is a scaffold. The headings are the questions visiting
pilots actually ask — the answers need to come from you, and need
re-checking every season. Delete this strip by removing
needsReview from the page's frontmatter.
Read this first
Nothing on this page is clearance to fly. It is background. Permission comes from the relevant authority, in writing, for the site and the dates you intend to fly — and it is your responsibility to hold it.
Who governs air sports here
Name the federation and the relevant authority, explain what they issue, and link to them. Getting a formal endorsement from the national body would be the single biggest credibility upgrade this site can have — pursue it.
Controlled and restricted airspace
Explain in plain terms where the hard boundaries sit, particularly around the Tehran basin and near any military or sensitive installation. Do not publish precise coordinates you have not verified.
Cameras, drones and GPS tracks
Set expectations honestly. Visiting pilots want to film and to upload tracklogs, and they need to understand where that is fine and where it is not.
Flying as a foreign national
What is different for a visitor versus a local pilot: paperwork, whether a local guide is required in practice, and what to carry.
If you are stopped
Practical, calm advice. Who to call.
