Got your Drone? these are the first things to do before your fly your Drone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn how to fly the drone, from an accredited institution (SANAD Academy)<\/span><\/h2>\n

First, you need to learn the rules and regulations of flying a drone in UAE\/Dubai<\/strong>, and then learn the basics of operating the drone you own and flying it safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

I did my course at SANAD Academy<\/strong>, which is the United Arab Emirate\u2019s first RPA<\/strong> (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) training and certification specialists endorsed by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sanad Academy is responsible for Train, test and certifies drone operators and drones in UAE with DCAA Endorsement. With a handful of well trained and friendly staffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The courses are customized for the needs of the students.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Basic Boot Camp<\/strong> for Hobbyist which takes only 5 hours, to professional courses which include advanced piloting manoeuvres and techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out more on SANAD Academy website.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

How to book a class at SANAD Academy?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Simply give them a call or book the class on their website, then they will give you a schedule of the classes, do your theory session (for Bootcamp) and do the theory test.then you will have a practise session for few hours, where they will teach you to operate the Drone. Finally, you have to perform a practical assessment. If you’re good enough to fly the drone safely you will get the certificate and the licence stickers for the drone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

(Note this does not mean you can fly the drone, you are not done yet.)<\/span><\/p>\n

You will receive an email with your certificate and the instruction to register your drone in DCAA<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not forget to take pictures of your drone and the remote controller, including the model and serial number posted on the drone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Register your drone in DCAA and GCAA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flying a Drone without registering with DCAA is illegal, this is to ensure the safety of the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check more on this from GCAA website.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, has rubber-stamped the new penalty, which will see unregistered drone users fined between Dhs1,000 and 20,000. (whatson.ae)<\/span><\/p>\n

The rules apply to users flying drones for recreational purposes, as well as those using them for commercial purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Register your Drone in DCAA or GCAA?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Registering in GCAA is easy, simply go to <\/span>GCAA website<\/span><\/a> provide all the required information. Note you will have to upload the picture of your drone and few more documents. And then you will receive an email with the certificate reference number (make sure to keep a copy with you).<\/span><\/p>\n

Then register the drone with DCAA, you can do this online as well, visit <\/span>DCAA website<\/span><\/a> and create a user login with your email address, then fill up all the required information. Then go to <\/span>RPAS Registration<\/span><\/a> page from the top menu. Click <\/span>Apply Now, <\/b>fill up the required information which is of the drone, you will have to upload the pictures of the drone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you will receive a confirmation email, wait for the approval email to collect your ID. mostly you will get it in one working day. Then go to Airport Terminal 1, DCAA Office<\/strong>. Show your Reference number mentioned in the email and collect your ID.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s It, You are legal to fly your super cool Drone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Wait, one more thing… \u00a0Where are you going to fly your Drone here in UAE?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In <\/span>October<\/b>, the airport was closed for more than an hour after a drone entered its airspace, resulting in <\/span>22 flights<\/b> having to be diverted to other airports. The previous month, another drone resulted in the delay of<\/span> 90 flights. <\/b>(whatson.ae)<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not fly the drone within five kilometres from any airports, helipads, landing areas or manned aircraft. Do not fly near any buildings, houses, private properties or persons. Ensure that your drone also does not project any kind of bright light source into navigable airspace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Refer to this map, in order to check where you can and cannot fly a drone, <\/span>(<\/b>red means it\u2019s a no-fly zone, green means you need permission from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority to fly there)<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"

The UAE Drone Fly Zone Map app from <\/span>GCAA <\/b>shows where you may fly your drones. Download the UAE Drone Fly Zone Map app for <\/span>iTunes<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Android<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

No-fly zones<\/b><\/p>\n

GCAA and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) forbid flying drones near, around and over airports. In addition, federal and municipal authorities disallow flying drones over residential areas to protect people’s privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

No objection certificate<\/b><\/p>\n

In order to fly a drone in Dubai, you have to obtain a no objection certificate from DCAA. Make sure to check for regulations or limitations on drone use, which are specific to each emirate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can a Tourist fly a Done in Dubai?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Aviation authorities are working on a mechanism where tourists can register online and get a certificate subject to an in-house validation of their skills in Dubai, which will allow them to fly their drones around landmarks in Dubai. Read more from <\/span>khaleejtimes.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Drone Fan Forums and Drone Communities in Dubai<\/span><\/h2>\n
