DRONE LAWS IN SINGAPORE IN 2023 | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO FLY IN SINGAPORE | GMO ON THE GO
Drone Laws in Singapore in 2023.
Hello fellow drone pilots! I often get questions and comments asking if you’re allowed to fly in Singapore and a lot of people seem to think it is forbidden. The truth is you are absolutely permitted to fly a drone in Singapore but there are some steps you need to take to ensure you’re flying safely and legally. This video details the basic steps needed to fly your recreational drone in Singapore in 2023.
REGISTRATION:
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) requires all drones over 250g of total weight (including battery) to be registered. If your drone is under 250g with the battery, like the DJI Mini 2 for example, then you do not need to register. If the drone exceeds 250g you need to register on their website (link below). The cost is $20 SGD for the registration sticker (3-5 days by mail) that you will affix to a visible area of your drone. After you’ve done this, the second task is to register the drone specs online (serial numbers etc.). Note there is additional requirements if you’re drone is much heavier than the normal recreational drones (e.g., above 7kg), in this case you will have to obtain a training certificate, or a license so check into the link below if this applies to you.
CAAS UA (Drone) Regulatory Requirements website
www.caas.gov.s...
NO FLY ZONES
Singapore is a small country, therefore most of it is covered by no-fly zones. No fly zones include but are not limited to: 5km radius from any airports, government buildings, military areas, private property, and national parks. There are specific designated areas for flying drones that a lot of people will use for practice, these can all be viewed using several different applications. The DJI Fly app or other apps such as FlyWhere will give you a detailed breakdown and description of the No Fly Zones (NFZ).
ALTITUDE LIMIT
CAAS regulations require recreational drones to not fly at an altitude exceeding 200 feet (around 60m) above mean sea level. Any flights exceeding this altitude would require a separate Activity Permit through CAAS.
Thanks again for watching this video and please let me know if you have any questions in the comments, happy to help. Happy flying!
Note: This video is for education purposes only, please fly your drone in Singapore at your own risk and please read the full list of regulations on the CAAS website. I am not liable for any misunderstanding of the rules. Thank you

Hi all, just wanted to share that CAAS in Singapore will be revising all drone related requests from 15 Jan 2024. To register a drone will now be $25 instead of $20.
Hey there. Just today I called CAAS Singapore regarding drone footage and posting it in KZread. They said once I uploaded to KZread, it’s considered as Commercialized and Non Recreational. Meaning I need license to do so. Even when I fly
Good to know 👏👏👏
Nice video!

Thanks for sharing 🎉. I got HoverAir X1 a self flying camera and weighs 125g. Not sure if all these rules apply. They say it’s not a drone but just like a flying selfie stick 😂, but it can still fly upto max height 15meters.

@@didietaditya1897 yes you can but need to obey all laws, and check the fly app on the day you plan to fly, there could be events that will cause the area to be a no fly zone. For example, now Singapore is doing their National Day rehearsal so the area is a no fly zone on some days.
Thanks for the info. I just have a toy Drone DJI Tello with max 10-15 metres height. So should be fine I believe. And at Marina bay, is it allowed to fly my drone? How about the beaches in Sentosa or Gardens by the bay?

Marina Bay is allowed but you need to avoid flying over people, cars, buildings. Over the water is ok. Sentosa is private property so some places are not allowed. Gardens by the bay is not allowed unfortunately. The DJI Fly app will show all the no fly zones.

Hey bro, thanks for sharing. Nice and clear video. Just to make sure, why you needed to get the license once DJI mini 3 is under 250g?
@certified_gmo
Жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot. Sorry for the confusion on that, I had to get the license because I got the extended battery for the mini 3, which puts it over 250g. If you have the standard battery then you don't need to get the license.

It's better standard battery only for dji mini 3 so no need to register? Right?

Great video ! very informative. However i have a question, do the civil aviation mail the sticker to foreign visitors address who are planning to register and visit Singapore with their drone ?
@certified_gmo

That is a good question, likely not to overseas address. Is your drone over the weight limit? Perhaps it could be mailed to a temporary address in Singapore? Hotel, etc

Can I fly drone on cruise ship in Singapore ports, sea?

I think you are not allowed to fly on cruise ship, but you should confirm with the cruise operator. When I went on the cruise it wasn’t allowed
