Good day to all!
Do I understand correctly that it is not realistic for a tourist to use a DJI drone in the UAE? Even to just shoot your family.
After some study of this issue, I found out the following obstacles:
1. https://www.gcaa.gov.ae/en/pages/UASRegistration.aspx says that: "Individual Registration: All UAS / drones, regardless of their weight, which are used by individuals for recreational purposes, be registered with the GCAA. "
However, the registration form (https://www.gcaa.gov.ae/en/eLice ... neRegistration.aspx) requires you to specify Mobile No. But since form require "Only UAE mobile numbers are allowed for registration example +971500000000", you can not even register a drone if you do not live in the UAE and don't have UAE Mobile No.
2. Requirements on https://www.gcaa.gov.ae/en/pages/UASRegistration.aspx says that for an Individual / Private User (Recreational):
* No video or image capturing devices shall be used when flying the UAS / drone;
WTF !!! ???)) But all DJI drones have cameras! Because of that you can not use any drone DJI in the UAE!
3. According to the law of the UAE:
ARTICLE 70:
A term of imprisonment not exceeding three years and a fine not exceeding one thousand thousand Dirhams, or any penalty, shall be imposed on the following persons:
* Anyone who has been piloted an aircraft or caused it to be flown without bearing the nationality and registration marks.
Can someone have more positive information or a positive experience of using DJI drones in the UAE?
