Report A Drone
You will find everything you need here to report illegal drone use in Ireland. If you think somebody is operating a drone illegally you can report them using the tools below.
Reporting illegal/unsafe operations
Activity that concerns you should be reported. General public drone related safety and occurrence reporting platform below and pilot specific occurrence and incident reporting steps illustrated below that.
We would encourage all of our members to follow the following two protocols if they see unsafe or illegal drone flying:
Educate: Quite a few people are just unaware of the rules around drones so gently let the person know they are flying in a dangerous and unsafe manner.
Escalate. If that doesn’t work then we recommend you report the hazardous flying to the IAA and where there is an immediate risk of injury report it to the Gardaí.
You can report a drone to the IAA by emailing them at: drones@iaa.ie
You can also submit a report to the official ECCAAIRS system which can be accessed here.
Dangerous and reckless drone flying ruins it for the rest of us. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the rules and educate other to the dangers.
Using ECCAIRS
Below you will find videos on how to submit a report on ECCAIRS.
