he use of remotely piloted aircraft

The pilot must observe all statutory re-
quirements relating to liability, privacy
and any other laws enforceable by all
other authorities.
For all other use (commercial, corpo-
rate and non-profit), a remotely piloted
aircraft must be registered and may
only be operated in terms of Part 101 of
the South African Civil Aviation Re
gulations.
