Details	:	In recent years, small unmanned aircraft (“SUA”), more commonly known as “drone”, has been gaining popularity both in Hong Kong and worldwide. The uses of SUA range from recreation and STEM education to professional deployment for powerline inspection, surveying, 3D mapping, search and rescue operations, aerial photography and filming, drone shows, etc. The new SUA Order will provide a forward-looking regulatory regime that can foster the innovative development and application of SUA in Hong Kong in tandem with evolving technology, while safeguarding aviation and public safety. This talk will introduce the new SUA regime which will be regulated under a risk-based approach.
