Finally new drone laws in Sweden

From Aug 1st 2017 we in Sweden are finally allowed to use camera on drones again. Soon, late summer, we will most likely be able to fly in NFZ's up to 50m/150ft (military 10m/33ft) if we are atleast 5km away from the end of the runway and we don't need radio contact with the ctrl tower when flying up to 50m. It will also be ok to fly in darkness if you have "drone-lights". No permissons at all needed to fly drones up to 7kg/15lb, private or commercial, no difference. We can fly up to 120m/400ft and some times higher if you have to pass "high contructions / antennas". Good news in Sweden.
The new rules/laws are adaptation to upcoming EU laws and regulations.

Congratulations. The EU appears to be leading the way in the development of a standardized set of rules for UAS operations.
