To promote the safety of unmanned aircraft, including drones, the government approved procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft and other aircraft.
The rules stipulate that remote piloting will be possible from the age of 16, except high-risk flights from the age of 18. The operations of sensitive unmanned aircraft will be subject to long-term approval by the Civil Aviation Agency (CAA). This will require you to pass a test of theoretical and practical knowledge, a flight risk assessment and a flight record. The CAA will conduct a test of remote pilots' theoretical knowledge and practical skills free of charge.
The new regime regulates safety clearance depending on the mass and speed of an unmanned aircraft. With the CAA's permission, it will be possible to fly unmanned aircraft near a public event. At the same time, conditions will be eased for flights close to or above infrastructure facilities. It is intended to introduce an information sign prohibiting the operation of unmanned aircraft. Cabinet regulations define state and military unmanned aircraft separately.
Liability insurance is also provided. It will henceforth be extended to unmanned aircraft with a total take-off mass of over 250 grams for high-risk operations. On the other hand, unmanned aircraft with a take-off mass above 1.5 kg will require third party liability insurance regardless of the risk of flight.
The remote pilot will be responsible for ensuring that he and the flight observer are visible and wear a reflective vest.
The regulations impose stricter requirements for the operation of unmanned aircraft near aerodromes or elsewhere that impose restrictions on the use of airspace.
