The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation has developed on amendments to the Federal rules for the use of airspace in our country.
The document provides for the introduction of new rules for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In particular, drone flights in Russia may become possible without obtaining permission from the Unified Air Traffic Management System. True, certain conditions must be met.
In particular, without prior permission, the document allows the implementation of "visual flights by unmanned aerial vehicles within the line of sight, carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles with a maximum take-off weight of up to 30 kg during daylight hours at altitudes of less than 150 meters from the earth or water surface."
At the same time, flights cannot be carried out over certain territories, which include air traffic control zones, areas of airfields (heliports) of state and experimental aviation, restricted areas, venues for public events and official sporting events, etc.
The draft resolution also notes that the drone pilot is responsible for preventing collisions of unmanned aircraft with manned aircraft and other material objects in the air, as well as collisions with obstacles on the ground.
