SUA are power-driven aircraft weighing 25 kg or below which are operated without any pilot onboard, which include drones, model aircraft (fixed wing or helicopters) etc. To seize the immense potential of SUA application while safeguarding aviation and public safety, the Government introduced a subsidiary legislation, the Small Unmanned Aircraft Order (SUA Order), under the Civil Aviation Ordinance (Cap. 448), as a forward-looking regulatory regime for SUA. Under the law that took full effect on 1 December 2022, SUA operations are regulated under a risk-based approach and classified according to the weight of the SUA and the operational risk level. Operations of different risk levels are subject to the corresponding regulatory requirements, including registration and labelling of SUA, registration of remote pilots, training and assessment, equipment and operating requirements, etc.
This site contains information relating to the safe operations of SUA under the new regime. Remote pilots and responsible persons are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the information prior to operating SUA.
