BEIJING (REUTERS) - China's aviation regulator published on Friday (Dec 4) draft operating guidelines for the fledgling drone industry after several security breaches involving the unmanned aircraft.
The guidelines by the Civil Aviation Administration of China cover unmanned aerial vehicles weighing no more than 116kgs and include maintaining up-to-date records on remote pilots and providing data on the exact location of drones in heavily populated areas.
The guidelines, published on the regulator's website, also stipulate that drones must keep out of restricted airspace and follow unspecified rules set by the military and the government.
