ROC Consulting – Drone Laws Regulations
In South Africa, drone operations are heavily regulated by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) under Part 101 of the Civil Aviation Regulations. Key regulations include obtaining necessary approvals and certifications, maintaining visual line of sight, adhering to altitude limits, and avoiding restricted airspace. Penalties for violating these regulations can include fines, imprisonment, or drone confiscation.
