MYTHS

If I am the owner of a

drone

surely I can fly my drone any time and anywhere!

 

When you purchased your drone, you should have been told about the South African

drone

regulations for private use.

“No RPA shall be sold within the Republic unless the seller has, by way of a packaging label, or in the case of the resale thereof, by way of written notification, notified the buyer of the requirements as prescribed in Document SACATS 101.”

I can fly my

drone

in my own back yard surely!

 

If you can meet these requirements:

  • You are the property owner or have permission from the property owner
  • You are not in controlled airspace, restricted airspace, or prohibited airspace
  • You don’t fly closer than 50m to people without their consent and the necessary safety measures have been put in place
  • You don’t fly closer than 50m from another property without that property owner’s consent and the necessary safety measures have been put in place
  • In daylight conditions and have clear unobstructed sight (R-VLOS)
  • Limited to fly 500m of the remote pilot and below the height of the highest obstacle within 300m of the drone, which the remote pilot maintains direct unaided visual contact with the drone to manage its flight and meet separation and collision avoidance responsibilities.
  • It is a private operation and is not for commercial outcome, interest, or gain.

Where do I get the South African rules regarding flying drones?
