Starting from March 31st, Taitung County government will officially implement the new "Remote Controlled Drone Management Rules", which strictly manages the operation and application of drones. You need to pay special attention to the fact that airspace below 400 feet is managed by the county and city governments, while drones above 400 feet must apply to the Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) for approval in advance. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in fines of up to 1.5 million dollars and the confiscation of your drone. Please be sure to understand and follow these new regulations to avoid unnecessary legal consequences.

Introduction to the New Regulations

With the implementation of the Civil Aviation Law "Rules for the Management of Remotely Operated Drones" on March 31st, the use of drones will be subject to stricter management. The new law clearly stipulates that airspace within 400 feet of a drone is managed by the county and city governments, while operations beyond 400 feet require prior approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). To avoid violating the law and being penalized, you need to understand the relevant regulations and follow the rules to operate your drone properly.

Remote Control Drone Rules

According to the "Rules Governing Remotely Operated Drones", you must register your device before operating the drone. In particular, if the maximum take-off weight of the drone exceeds 250 grams, you need to register your device. In addition, you are required to hold an operator's license for the range, especially for drones weighing between 2 and 15 kilograms and over 15 kilograms.

Management Scope and Responsibility

Under the new administration, the Taitung County Government will implement a negative list system to specify the areas where drone flights are prohibited, including areas around airports and military, police, and other authorities. This requires you to check the flight restrictions of the area before operating your drone, and avoid operating in prohibited or restricted areas to avoid high fines and drone forfeiture penalties.

In the new regulation, the Taitung County government emphasizes that the responsibility for operating your drone lies with you. If you fly your drone in prohibited airspace, you will be subject to fines ranging from NT$300,000 to NT$1,500,000, and the drone will be confiscated. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the relevant airspace management information and make sure that you fully understand all the relevant laws and regulations before operating your drone. The best way to protect yourself is to ensure that your drone is operated in a safe and compliant manner.

Airspace Management and Prohibited Areas

According to the Civil Aviation Law "Remote Controlled Drone Regulations", the operating area of the drone will be strictly regulated. The Taitung County Government will be responsible for the supervision of the area within 400 feet, and will specify the necessary prohibited areas to ensure public safety and order.

Areas within 400 ft. and above 400 ft.

Within 400 feet, you are free to operate a drone up to 2 kg without having to apply for approval. However, if the drone is flying at an altitude of more than 400 feet, you will need to apply to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for approval before you can fly the drone.

Negative listings and restricted areas

The Taitung County Government has adopted a "negative list" approach to maintain public safety by clearly listing the areas where drone flights are prohibited, including airports, military areas and government offices. Apart from the red no-fly zone, operations in the green zone are more autonomous, but still need to follow the regulations.

The negative list strategy allows you to know exactly which areas are off-limits without worrying about restrictions in other "green zones". In the red no-fly zones, drone operations are not allowed. You must avoid flying in the designated sensitive areas to avoid fines of NT$300,000 to NT$1.5 million and possible confiscation of your drone. It is recommended that you always check the relevant announcements to ensure that your operations are legal and safe.

Drone Operation Application Process

According to Taitung County government regulations, starting March 31st, you need to apply for permission to operate a drone within 400 feet to ensure that your flight behavior is in compliance with the regulations. Different airspace and drone types may have different application requirements, so be sure to understand the procedures in advance to avoid fines.

Application Requirements and Procedures

To apply for drone operation, you need to confirm the type of drone and its weight, and find out if the airspace you are operating in is legal. If the maximum take-off weight of the drone is greater than 2 kg, you must apply to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for approval and follow the relevant registration procedures.

Exceptions for operations by natural persons

If you are operating a drone that weighs less than 2 kilograms and is located in a county-gazetted green zone, you are free to fly within 400 feet of the airspace without a request. This rule drastically reduces the restrictions on daily operations.

In particular, for manned operation of a drone weighing less than 2 kg, there is no need to go through a complicated application process, allowing you the flexibility to use the drone in compliance with the airspace regulations. However, please make sure that you are not operating in a prohibited or restricted airspace to avoid fines or confiscation of the aircraft for non-compliance.

Registration and License Requirements

According to the Taitung County government's new regulations, drone operators must comply with registration and licensing requirements. All drones with a maximum takeoff weight of 250 grams or more must be registered. After proper registration, you can operate your drone in accordance with the relevant regulations.Applying for drone operation but violating the regulations?

The Need for Registered Drones

Registering your drone is a critical step in ensuring safe and legal operation. In addition to protecting your rights and interests, registration helps to keep track of the use of your drone. This not only complies with legal requirements, but also increases public safety and ensures that you are able to enjoy the operation of your drone to the fullest extent of the law.

Acquisition and Requirement of Operator's License

To ensure the safe operation of your drone, you need to obtain an operator's license. According to the new regulations, a corresponding operator's license is required in order to legally fly a drone with a maximum take-off weight of 2kg to 15kg and above. The relevant examination requirements can be found in the Civil Aviation Act's "Rules for the Management of Remotely Operated Drones", so be sure to check them carefully to avoid non-compliance.

To obtain an operator's license, you will need to pass a professional exam that will give you basic knowledge of drone operation and safety awareness. The exam usually includes theoretical knowledge and practical exercises to ensure that you are able to fly safely in a variety of situations. For your safety and the safety of others, a valid operator's license is a prerequisite for flying a drone.

Penalties and Consequences of Violations

Under the newly implemented Remote Controlled Drone Regulations, users who operate their drone in violation of the relevant regulations will face severe penalties. If you operate your drone in the vicinity of a prohibited area, restricted area, or air terminal, you may be fined over NT$300,000 and up to NT$1.5 million, and face the risk of having your drone confiscated.

If you are found to have violated the regulations, the relevant departments will penalize you according to the law to ensure aviation safety and order.

Confiscation of Drones

If you operate a drone illegally in a prohibited or restricted area, you will not only face a hefty fine, but you may also be subject to drone forfeiture. This measure is designed to prevent potential safety threats.

According to the Rules for the Management of Remotely Operated Drones, confiscation of a drone includes flying in airspace prohibited by law, and operating a drone over 400 feet without an application. Even if you are operating a drone under 2kg, you will face the same consequences if you fly in a prohibited airspace. To avoid such risks, it is recommended that you read the relevant laws and regulations before operating your drone to ensure that you are flying in compliance.
