If you need support with registration, we offer full guidance and assistance throughout the process.

Only drones exceeding 7kg or used for high-risk commercial operations require a license from the Civil Aviation Department.
 
 
Before providing any licensing advice or course information, we will confirm whether you are planning to use drones over 7kg.
 
 
For typical personal activities and equipment, a license application is not required.
