RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) regulations

RPAS regulations govern the operation of remotely piloted aircraft, often called drones, to ensure safety and privacy. They require operators to follow rules such as registering drones over a certain weight, maintaining line-of-sight, and avoiding restricted airspace like airports. Pilots must also understand local laws, not fly over crowds, and operate safely to prevent accidents or privacy violations. These regulations aim to enable responsible drone use for activities like photography, inspection, or delivery, while protecting people and property from risks. Compliance helps integrate RPAS into national airspace systems smoothly and safely.
