Despite DGCA Guidelines on Drones, India Fails to Check Trespassing, Privacy: Report

News 18  

New Delhi: Drones or Remotely Piloted Aircraft is the latest trend catching onto the imagination of the public. Although current guidelines permit Indian security personnel to shoot down a drone, the aircraft’s speed and surprise element can be used by terrorists to their advantage. Various examples, like in 2014 when an Air India flight almost collided with a UAV at Leh airport or when a drone was found hovering 1,500 feet above the runway of IGI airport, have stressed the need for fresh guidelines. Other than a major overhaul of current equipment and infrastructure available to air traffic controllers, a plan of action in case of any UAV found breaking the rules also need to be formulated. US guidelines state that drones weighing above 250 grams must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration and that all users must adhere to the laws of usage while specifying emergency risk mitigation strategies.
