If you live in America and control the drone, the Federal aviation administration of the USA wants to know all about it. December 21 will be opened online registration form, and anyone who has ever operated a machine with a weight of from 0.25 to 25 pounds, must fill her until 19 February next year. Registration will cost $ 5, however the first month (to 20 January) it will be free.
“We expect the holiday season will be bought by hundreds of thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles, said the head of administration Michael Huerta. — Registration gives us an opportunity to train new operators of these drones before they begin to fly, so they will know the rules of the air and to understand that all their actions carry responsibility to society”.
For registration you will need to specify the operator name, home address and email address; every three years the registration procedure will take place again. Each registered participant will receive a certificate with a unique identification number, which will need to be applied to the drone. If you do not register your drone may get administrative fine of up to $ 27 500 or prosecution with a fine of 250 thousand dollars and/or three years imprisonment.
At the moment the new registration rules drones are for only lovers. The Federal aviation administration also plans to open online registration for broader ways to use drones, including commercial use, by the spring of next year. Until then, commercial operators of drones have to apply for registration in paper form, according to a press release from the office.
