Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has declared that the registration of drone cameras is now mandatory as part of a comprehensive policy regulating drone usage across the country.
The new regulations require all drone owners to register their devices with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) within the next four months.
The CAA will issue remote pilot licenses to drone camera owners, ensuring that operators are adequately trained and certified.
Drones have been categorized into four distinct classes based on their weight, which will determine specific regulatory requirements for each category.
The licenses for importing and exporting drone cameras will have a validity period of up to three years.
The Ministry of Defense has emphasized that drones are strictly prohibited from flying in restricted areas, including border zones and areas requiring special clearance.
In the event of any accidents involving drones, it is mandatory to inform civil aviation authorities immediately.
Civil aviation inspectors will conduct regular inspections of drones to ensure compliance with safety and operational standards. Strict actions will be taken against drone owners who violate these regulations.
Flying drones without proper clearance is now banned, and there is a prohibition on operating drones within a 6-kilometer radius of airports.
