Study Notes
- Remotely piloted aircraft operation requires unobstructed visual contact with the aircraft by both the operator and other airspace users, unless the operator has approval for beyond visual line of sight or night operations.
- Public roads are prohibited as landing or take-off locations for remotely piloted aircraft, unless the operator holds a remotely piloted aircraft system operator certificate approved by both the Authority and the relevant local authority
- Operation of remotely piloted aircraft in controlled airspace is restricted to holders of a remotely piloted aircraft system operator certificate, with approval from the Authority
- The Authority can approve remotely piloted aircraft operation in controlled airspace according to the Civil Aviation (Air Traffic Services) Rules of the Air and Regulations, 2018 (Statutory Instrument 197 of 2018).
- Remotely piloted aircraft must operate under visual meteorological conditions in an air traffic zone and controlled terminal region below 400 feet, compliance with subsection (2).
- Remotely piloted aircraft in controlled airspace must have the capability to automatically detect and avoid traffic or obstacles to prevent collisions.
