If you are interested in drones and want to take videos and photos from drones, then this news is definitely for you. Because before doing this, you need to know in which areas you should avoid flying drones. Actually, no one can fly such a drone just like that, for this you need permission to fly it. If you do not follow the rules, you may have to pay a fine up to Rs 1 lakh and action can also be taken.
So today let us know where you can fly drones and at which places you should avoid flying drones. Also let us tell you what rules have been made for which drone.
What are the rules?
Let us tell you that Rules 2021 for new drones have been made by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The new rules of drones will not apply to defence, i.e. Navy, Army or Air Force. All drones will have to be digitally registered. Apart from this, information about the presence of drones and their flight will have to be made available to the administration.
According to the rules, drones will have nano devices weighing 250 grams or less, micro devices weighing 250 grams to 2 kg, small drones weighing 2 kg to 25 kg. Whereas medium drones can weigh from 25 kg to 150 kg. Larger UAVs will be in the range of 150 kg to 500 kg. UAVs weighing more than 500 kg will follow the Aircraft Rules, 1937.
Registration will have to be done
Any institution or individual will have to obtain a certificate of competency to fly a drone. Which can be issued by the Quality Council of India or any organization authorized by them/Central Government. Each drone should have a Unique Identification Number (UIN), which can be self-generated through the Digital Sky platform. UIN is mandatory for all new and existing UAVs. Transfer of drones or cancellation of their registration can be done through the relevant digital form.
Drones cannot fly everywhere
Drones cannot be flown anywhere. For this, an interactive airspace map will be provided on the Digital Sky platform. In which there will be information about the fixed zone. These will be red, green and yellow zones. There will be freedom to fly drones in the Green Zone, but drones cannot be flown in the Yellow Zone and Red Zone. In this, a lot of relaxation has been given regarding the green zone.
Fine will be imposed for violation of rules
If rules are violated, action will be taken under the provisions of the Aircraft Act, 1934. Under this, a fine of up to one lakh can be imposed. Apart from this, there are provisions for different punishments ranging from imprisonment for flying drones in the Red Zone and gathering any kind of wrong information.
