NAMIBIA DRONE REGULATIONS -2022, May the 1st

Message par fifitoy »

According to Namibia's national aviation authority, Namibia Civil Aviation (NCAA), flying a drone is legal in Namibia, but we recommend being aware of and compliant with the drone regulations listed below before doing so.
Special Travel Considerations
If you're traveling to Namibia and want to bring your drone, the NCAA lists these special considerations for foreigners who want to fly drones: To register a private drone costs
N$ 300 and a commercial drone N$ 4500.
To fly a drone in Namibia as a foreigner for recreational purposes, you must obtain approval from the NCAA. Foreigners must submit applications for approval to fly recreationally and must be submitted at least 15 days prior to the planned flight. Learn more about how to seek approval by the NCAA http://www.ncaa.com.na
To fly a drone in Namibia as a foreigner for commercial purposes, you must also obtain approval from the NCAA. Foreigners must submit applications for approval to fly commercially at least 30 days prior to the planned flight. Do not forget to contact the film commission of Namibia and when applicable Ministry of Environment and Tourism Namibia or MEFT
General Rules for Flying a Drone in Namibia
Since 27th of March 2020, Namibia has new regulations regarding drone flying in Namibia. NCAA has added a new directive for RPAS which is active from 1st of May 2022. Both documents can also be found on the website of NCAA.
Good to know before flying drones in Namibia
You will find 3 categories:
Cat I: pure recreational and only on private property
Cat II: Research, tourists and sport events. As a tourist you will fall in this category. An application needs to be done. You can download all forms at the website of NCAA
Cat III: Commercial drone flying. You will need to be a licensed RPAS pilot. Foreign licences can be presented to NCAA for conversion when accepted by NCAA.
You can also find a classification based on weight of your drone. Please consult NAMCARS Part 101 at the website of NCAA.
Here are the most important rules to know for flying a standard multicopter in Namibia for tourism purposes:
- Do not fly drones higher than 150 feet and further than 500 m ( VLOS)
- Do not fly drones within a published controlled zone, air traffic zone, or air traffic area.
- Do not fly in a National Park or sensitive area such as army bases, embassies, …
- Do not fly closer than 50 m from a public road
- Do not fly drones closer than five nautical miles from the boundary of an aerodrome.
- You can only fly your drone in VFR conditions
- Make sure you always have permission of the landowner to fly your drone on her/his premises
- You will need consent of people when you fly & record
- Never fly over a crowd of people
Recently, BVLOS and E-VLOS drone operations are defined by NCAA. Inform yourself when flying during such operations.
A third party liability insurance is required before operating a drone in Namibia.
Conclusion
It is recommended to inform yourself before flying drones in Namibia. Start your application procedure in time. All forms can be found at the website of NCAA ( www.NCAA.com.na).
