Effective drone policy is being brought by the Ministry of Civil Aviation
By MYBRANDBOOK
Ministry of Civil Aviation has drafted the National Drone Policy that will come into effect from 1 December 2018. Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha has confirmed that a Drone Task Force is working on policy regulations for the future which will allow for flying automated drones that operate beyond the line of sight.
The drone policy has been made keeping in mind several parameters such as the height at which a drone can travel, the area in which it can be used, registration of the drone and more. Owners and pilots of the drone need to be registered with the ministry and permission for flying a drone needs to be applied via an app. Digital permits will be given as soon as the automated process is completed.
According to the ministry, during daytimes, a drone can be flown up to a height of 400 meters. There will be special 'No Drone Areas' such as airports, near international borders and especially in some areas of vital military installations and such. The ministry has said that the strict rules are necessary to prevent the use of drones for evil purposes.
The regulations list various categories of drones and all of these except the "nano" type weighing less than 250 gm and those owned by the government and intelligence agencies are to be registered and issued with a Unique Identification Number (UIN).
The ministry has stressed on an all-digital process for registering and operating drones. It is called as the Digital Sky Platform and is reportedly "first-of-its-kind national unmanned traffic management (UTM) platform that implements 'no permission, no takeoff' (NPNT). This UTM will be in close contact with the defense and civilian air traffic controllers (ATCs) so that the drones remain on the correct course.
Drones range in size from very small and those that can carry multiple kilograms of payload. It has been necessary to develop global standard drone regulations that would permit, with appropriate safeguards, the commercial application of various drone technologies.
