The legal framework harmonized with the European Union brings a number of benefits to the Swiss drone industry, the Federal Bureau of Civil Aviation (Bazl) announced on Friday. European regulations set safety standards for the manufacture, approval and operation of drones. Depending on the business risk, a distinction is now made between the three categories “open”, “special” and “subject to change”.
All long-range pilots who want to operate a drone in the open category must have completed training and be able to present a corresponding certificate. The EU and Switzerland mutually recognize the respective certificates.
Switzerland will also apply European regulations on U-Space. According to Bazl, it involves a sum of digital and automated functions and processes that are used in a defined airspace. With U-Space, the increasing number of civil drone flight movements must be safely integrated into the airspace to ensure a conflict-free coexistence of manned and unmanned aircraft systems.
