Drone users asked to register on new EU system as new rules come into effect
New European safety regulations for the use of drones are now being implemented, from January 2021 onward, according to the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).
The new European regulations (EU 2019/947 and 2019/945), which will replace existing Irish laws, will require the owners of most drones to register with the IAA.
Only the owners of a small drone weighing less than 250g with no camera or sensor will be exempt from registering.
There are over 14,000 drones currently on the IAA register and the owners of those on the current register will be required to re-register under the new EU system.
