Can you say anything about the necessary approvals to fly the drone? Thanks!

Du brauchst (wie überall in Portugal) eine generellere Genehmigung für Fotoaufnahmen (Luftaufnahmen), für private Zwecke klappt das immer einfach. Mann muss diese über ein Portal beantragen. Gute Anleitung gibt es hier: https://www.drone-zone.de/drohnen-gesetze-und-regeln-in-portugal-so-gehst-du-vor/#Schritt_1_im_e-AAN_System_registrieren
