BGKIS flight-notification systemBGKIS

Latvia's state system for notifying UAS flights, accessed via e.caa.gov.lv. Flights in restricted UAS geographical zones must be approved in BGKIS first.

BGKIS is Latvia's state system for notifying UAS flights, accessed through the e.caa.gov.lv portal. Since 1 January 2025, a pilot who wants to fly in a restricted UAS geographical zone must submit a flight application in BGKIS and receive approval before the flight — only then may the drone take off.

A key distinction: a submitted application is not yet an approval. Until the answer arrives, flying in the zone is not allowed. A BGKIS approval also grants airspace access only — it gives no right to film people or objects; that is governed by other rules.
