Aerial work refers to aerial operations in which an aircraft is used for specialized services as such as agriculture, construction, photography, surveying, observation, inspection, patrol, search and rescue or aerial advertising.

Operations related to aerial works must be reported to the Polish Air Navigation Agency for coordination with the relevant ATS service at a minimum of 5 working days in advance, and in cases of flights involving coordination with several ATS authorities at a minimum of 7 working days.

Flights in controlled airspace and those flights in uncontrolled airspace that, due to the nature of aerial work, require priority or arrangements with other users of flexible airspace structures are subject to coordination.

Search and rescue, surveillance and patrol flights are not subject to notification. Such flights must be carried out in accordance with the regulations for the relevant class of space.

The notification should include, in particular, information such as:

• type of aerial work;
• the type and registration of the aircraft;
• the date and time of the works;
• geographical coordinates of the flights work area/route in WGS-84 system and DMS format (degrees,minutes,seconds) and a map of these areas/routes;
• flight altitude given in ft AMSL or FL, as appropriate;
• if relevent, a copy of city overfly permit issued by mayor(president) of the city in  case of flights infringing the airspace over cities with a population of more than 25,000 (see AIP ENR 5.1);
• a confirmation with the administrator of a given restricted area (R) for flights violating the space of R areas designated over national parks or other facilities;
• a confirmation with the administrator of the facility protected by area P

Flight operations in ATZ and MCTR/MTMA must be prior coordinated with the airports competent autohority or with the main user of the airport in question.

Flights in restricted areas (R), prohibited areas (P), dangerous areas (D): see AIP Poland ENR 5.1

Flights in the ADIZ (air defense identification zone): see AIP Poland ENR 5.2.2.

In planning of aerial works, the operator/flight organizer shall take into account the availability of airspace (check AUP/UUP) and actual activity of flexible airspace elements (in AMC Poland). The operator/organizer is responsible for compliance with regulations and for having all relevant documents to perform aerial works.
