/25^th August 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Drones (RPAS) are not immune to potential unlawful actions. Potentially, RPAS could be used as weapons, the navigation or communication system signals of other RPAS could be jammed or ground control stations hijacked. The information needed to manage 4D trajectories in the future air traffic management system and to remotely control and aircraft will need to be communicated and shared in real time by different aviation operators to optimize the performance of the system.

/27^th July 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in Switzerland is Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). Main document affecting drone (UAV) flight regulations in Switzerland is DETEC Ordinance on Special Category Aircraft (OSCA). With effect from 1 August 2014, for safety reasons drones may no longer be operated above gatherings of people (several dozen people standing in close proximity to one another) or within a radius of 100 meters from gatherings of people.

/11^th April 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in Sweden is Civil Aviation Department at the Swedish Transport Agency. This agency is responsible for design, manufacture, modification, maintenance and activities with civil UAS within Sweden. Main document affecting drone (UAV) flight regulations in Sweden is „The Swedish Transport Agency´s regulations on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)“. According to these regulations drones (UAVs) in Sweden are classified into three categories, as the first category has two sub-categories.

/18^th February 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Drone (RPAS) operations must not lead to fundamental rights being infringed, including the respect for the right to private and family life, and the protection of personal data. Amongst the wide range of potential civil RPAS applications a number may involve collection of personal data and raise ethical, privacy or data protection concerns, in particular in the area of surveillance, monitoring, mapping or video recording. RPAS operators would need to comply with the applicable data protection provisions, notably those set out in the national measures established pursuant to the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC 21 and the Framework Decision 2008/977 22.

/5^th October 2015, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) require unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operators to apply for SFOCs, so Transport Canada can ensure operators use their UAV reliably and safely. This applies to all UAVs used for anything but the fun of flying and regardless of how much they weigh. Transport Canada inspectors will review their SFOC application and determine what safety conditions are needed to reduce the risks. Drone (UAV) operators must send a detailed application to the Transport Canada Civil Aviation office  in the region where you intend to fly your UAV. Application must include contact information and describe how, when and where drone (UAV) operators plan to use their UAV, as well as how they plan to deal with the safety risks.

/19^th May 2015, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ The Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration proposed a framework of regulations (PDF) that would allow routine use of certain small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in today’s aviation system, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate future technological innovations. The FAA proposal offers safety rules for small UAS (under 55 pounds) conducting non-recreational operations. The rule would limit flights to daylight and visual-line-of-sight operations. It also addresses height restrictions, operator certification, optional use of a visual observer, aircraft registration and marking, and operational limits.
