Before leaving

In order to fly in Morocco, you need to have an authorisation delivered by the Moroccan Civil Aviation Authority CAA (Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civil DGAC) as described in the technical order No 1535 DAC/DEA/SSA of the 14th June 2010 from the Ministry of transport and equipment. 
This authorisation will be asked when flown different sites of Morocco, especially in the Atlas.
Pre requirements to have the authorisation are detailed below.

It is also good to demonstrate that you have the contact of local ambulances in case of emergency.
