DRONE LAWS IN SINGAPORE IN 2023 | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO FLY IN SINGAPORE | GMO ON THE GO

Drone Laws in Singapore in 2023.

Hello fellow drone pilots! I often get questions and comments asking if you’re allowed to fly in Singapore and a lot of people seem to think it is forbidden. The truth is you are absolutely permitted to fly a drone in Singapore but there are some steps you need to take to ensure you’re flying safely and legally. This video details the basic steps needed to fly your recreational drone in Singapore in 2023.

REGISTRATION:

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) requires all drones over 250g of total weight (including battery) to be registered. If your drone is under 250g with the battery, like the DJI Mini 2 for example, then you do not need to register. If the drone exceeds 250g you need to register on their website (link below). The cost is $20 SGD for the registration sticker (3-5 days by mail) that you will affix to a visible area of your drone. After you’ve done this, the second task is to register the drone specs online (serial numbers etc.). Note there is additional requirements if you’re drone is much heavier than the normal recreational drones (e.g., above 7kg), in this case you will have to obtain a training certificate, or a license so check into the link below if this applies to you.

NO FLY ZONES

Singapore is a small country, therefore most of it is covered by no-fly zones. No fly zones include but are not limited to: 5km radius from any airports, government buildings, military areas, private property, and national parks. There are specific designated areas for flying drones that a lot of people will use for practice, these can all be viewed using several different applications. The DJI Fly app or other apps such as FlyWhere will give you a detailed breakdown and description of the No Fly Zones (NFZ).



ALTITUDE LIMIT

CAAS regulations require recreational drones to not fly at an altitude exceeding 200 feet (around 60m) above mean sea level. Any flights exceeding this altitude would require a separate Activity Permit through CAAS.
