Assemblies of people

A crowd so dense that an individual cannot move away from it. Overflying assemblies is banned in the entire open category.

Assemblies of people are gatherings where persons are so densely packed that an individual cannot move away from the crowd — concerts, rallies, sports events, beaches in season. The decisive criterion is not the number of people but the density: can a person freely step aside.

Flying over assemblies of people is prohibited in the entire open category — regardless of the drone's class or mass. Even the lightest C0 drone, which A1 allows to overfly individual people, may not overfly a crowd. That requires the specific or certified category.
