Türkiye plans new drone tracking system under new UAV rules
Türkiye’s Transport and Infrastructure Ministry has prepared a new regulatory framework for UAVs that includes the establishment of a centralized tracking system aimed at enhancing airspace safety and security.
The move comes amid the growing use of drones across the country, ranging from recreational photography and videography to commercial applications.
A draft regulation released for public consultation by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation seeks to overhaul the safety, security and technical rules governing the design, production, marketing and operation of UAVs in Turkish airspace.
Under the proposal, UAV operations will be classified into three categories based on risk levels: Open, specific and certified.
