CAAS lifts registration cap on unmanned aircraft over 250g

The regulator will also expedite the airspace clearance process.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has lifted the current limit on the number of unmanned aircraft (UA) weighing over 250g that each company and individual can register in Singapore.

Commercial UA operators will now be allowed to conduct operations up to 400 feet above mean sea level in designated areas on all days of the week with faster airspace clearance approvals.

Effective 14 February, these changes reflect CAAS' support for the beneficial use of unmanned aircraft and the development of the UA industry.

“As the industry regulator and developer for unmanned aircraft systems, CAAS is committed to updating our rules to stay abreast of technology advancements and ensure that they stay relevant, are pro-business, and can support new innovations, without compromising public and aviation safety and security,” Han Kok Juan, director-general at CAAS said.
