Prior to commencement of unmanned aircraft flights the relevant State institution or other authority shall submit information regarding the foreseeable deviation from this Regulation to the State agency "Civilās aviācijas aģentūra" (hereinafter - the Civil Aviation Agency). The State institutions and other authorities referred to in this Paragraph shall co-ordinate the use of the airspace of the Republic of Latvia with the State joint-stock company "Latvijas gaisa satiksme" (hereinafter - Latvijas gaisa satiksme).

4. Unmanned aircraft flights shall be performed so as not to endanger human life, health, privacy or property, flight safety and security, not to cause harm to the environment, and also not to endanger the State defence and security interests.
