OFweekRobotFrom June 1st, owners of civilian drones must register with their real names.However, there are still difficulties in the implementation of the real-name system management regulations for drones
On the evening of May 17, DJI, a consumer drone manufacturer with a global market share of 70%, sent a statement to The Paper, saying that it welcomed the recent announcement by the Civil Aviation Administration of China of the real-name registration of drones and other management measures. . DJI will remind users to register with their real names and fulfill their obligation of notification.
DJI’s statement also stated that it will comply with the requirements of the Civil Aviation Administration, conscientiously implement the manufacturer’s responsibilities, and start to study how to solve the difficulties faced in actual operation.
For example, DJI stated in the statement that in the implementation of the provisions for civil drone manufacturers to fill in the name and mobile phone of the drone purchaser, the manufacturer may encounter problems in the implementation. To many difficulties, it is difficult to meet the relevant requirements. DJI will maintain good communication with the Civil Aviation Administration of the implementation details, put forward constructive comments and suggestions, and support the healthy and orderly development of the industry.
On May 16, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the “Regulations on the Administration of Real-Name Registration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft”. The real-name registration work will officially start on June 1, 2017. For units and individuals who already own drones, they must complete the real-name registration before August 31. If the real-name registration and affixing of registration signs are not implemented as required, its behavior will be regarded as an illegal act in violation of regulations, and the use of its drones will be affected.
The “Regulations” require that from June 1, civil drone manufacturers and civil drone owners must apply for an account on the “Civil Aviation Administration of China’s Civil Drone Real-Name Registration System” (hereinafter referred to as the registration system). Civil unmanned manufacturers fill in the name, model, maximum take-off weight, empty weight, product type, name and mobile phone of their products in the registration system. Individual or unit civil drone owners must register their name (company name), valid ID number (organization code), mobile phone and email address, product model and serial number, and purpose of use in the registration system; The system will automatically give a picture of the registration sign including the registration number and QR code, and the user must print the picture and stick it on the drone.
Real-name registration system for drones
The Paper has learned that since the beginning of this year, there have been many incidents of drones threatening or interfering with the take-off and landing of civil flights in China, which has sparked extensive discussions.
On April 17, the Civil Aviation Administration of China convened various drone manufacturers, various drone management associations and other units to hold the first meeting to solicit opinions on the real-name registration management of drones. Regulations for comments. A second meeting was held on May 15.
Yu Jingbing, vice president of Shenzhen UAV Industry Association and president of Global Eagle (Shenzhen) UAV Co., Ltd., was at the meeting site. He told The Paper that everyone realized that UAVs are difficult to trace and real-name registration is imminent, so everyone’s The directions are the same.
However, when it comes to the implementation details, some business people have different opinions at the meeting.
Another participant told The Paper that some companies think the real-name system is difficult to operate. For example, how do companies collect user information, who to keep the user information, and how? Is it legal from a legal perspective?
“The leaders of the Airworthiness Department of the Civil Aviation Administration did not make a direct statement on this question raised by the company,” the above-mentioned person said. The regulations on the management of the real-name system for drones are formulated and promulgated by the Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Department of the Civil Aviation Administration.
Industry insiders have analyzed The Paper that it is necessary to register the name and phone number of each buyer, which will increase the burden on enterprises, and user information is a business secret of the enterprise, forcing enterprises to give information. In the current situation where relevant laws and regulations are not perfect Next, companies will also have doubts.
“The discussion at the scene was mainly at the legislative level,” Yu Jingbing said. “I hope the National People’s Congress will intervene in the legislation as soon as possible.”
Yu Jingbing said that in 2016, the output value of China’s civil drones was nearly 20 billion yuan, while the output value of China’s general aviation industry was less than 10 billion yuan. Yu Jingbing believes that the first version of the management regulations must have imperfections. It is better to have effective supervision and leave room for industrial development than to kill them with a stick.
Relevant persons believe that from the perspective of legislation, drones, as a cross-industry, cross-departmental and multi-field legal object, should be led by the legal affairs department of the State Council, and it is more appropriate for all departments to participate in the formation of a draft law and report it to the National People’s Congress for approval. The first is the limitation of the civil aviation department to formulate administrative regulations, and the second is that the civil aviation department has weak supervision or law enforcement.
In terms of real-name management, DJI previously suggested that drones should be equipped with an identification code for one machine and one code. The UAV flight information can be accessed to the management system in real time, and the supervisory department can also use special equipment to inquire and record the UAV that has entered the corresponding area by mistake.
The relevant person in charge of DJI said that in China, every motor vehicle has a unique number plate, and after a traffic accident, it can be traced back to the involved vehicle and its owner. Similarly, since DJI produced the complete device, each DJI drone has a unique and non-tamperable SN identification code, and each component also has a unique identification code that corresponds to the SN code of the drone . In other words, as long as you find a component of a DJI drone product (such as a gimbal or circuit board), DJI can trace it back to which aircraft it came from.
In addition, there was also controversy at the meeting regarding the exclusion of model aircraft from the definition of drones in the Regulations.
The “Regulations” pointed out that civil drones refer to aircraft that are not operated by an airborne pilot, have their own flight control systems, and are engaged in non-military, police and customs flight missions. Excludes aero models, unmanned free balloons and tethered balloons.
Relevant persons explained that the “Regulations on the Administration of Real-Name Registration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft” is only a departmental regulation and has legislative limitations. It is under the management of the State Sports General Administration, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs, and the National Meteorological Administration, and the Civil Aviation Administration has no right to restrict its administrative departments at the same level.
The biggest difference between drones and model aircraft is whether they have a flying brain. The drone is controlled by the flight control system, or is fully autonomously controlled by the flight control, while the model aircraft is manually controlled. If the remote control is not operated, the model aircraft will crash.
Yu Jingbing said that in the Chengdu drone interference flight incident in April, the large fixed-wing model aircraft seen by witnesses at night obviously had a flight brain, so it could not be simply classified as a model aircraft. In other words, the Regulations also apply to these drones.
It is worth noting that the murderer behind the flight disturbance incident at Chengdu Airport has not yet been found.
In addition to the real-name system management, industry insiders also suggested that the Civil Aviation Administration of China should issue a more detailed description of the no-fly zones as soon as possible: it is best to distinguish which areas are free to fly, which areas need to be declared, and which areas are absolutely prohibited. flying.
Peng Mei News has learned that from May to August 2017, relevant departments are carrying out special rectification of unmanned aerial vehicles. The target of rectification is mainly social consumer-grade unmanned aerial vehicles. Relevant departments need to grasp the production enterprises and quantities of unmanned aerial vehicles, designate and announce airport clearance areas and areas where unmanned aerial vehicles can fly, and seriously investigate and deal with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to deliberately cause accidents. Behavior, and gradually build a national unmanned aerial vehicle management and control system.
Just on May 17, the Civil Aviation Administration announced the protection scope of the obstacle restriction surface of civil airports, and the first batch of 155 airport-related data was released. The impact of airport flight safety and operational efficiency, promoting the application of similar technologies such as electronic fence systems.

【UAV real-name system regulations Q&A】
Regarding the hot issues of the real-name system for drones, Gordon, senior editor of the comprehensive model community forum 5iMX, gave some explanations.
Q: Is it not “black flying” after registration?
A: I will answer this question in reverse. If you don’t register, you are 100% black fly. If registered, you still have to fly by law. According to my understanding, registration is equivalent to filing. It is a more open and relaxed means of administrative supervision than the review system. It is post-event supervision, not pre-event supervision. That is to say, in case the drone blows up or is shot down by the police, the police can find out who you are through the number. But if you do not register and you are caught flying illegally, the penalties will be very serious.
Q: I already have an AOPA or ASFC certificate, do I still need to register?
A: It’s two different things. “Registration” is for drone owners. No matter whether you have owned it before or recently purchased it, you need to register as many drones as you have. For example, if I am a company that owns 5 drones of different sizes, as long as these 5 drones weigh more than 250 grams, they must be registered under the name of the company. As for when you want to fly them, you need other procedures and approvals, such as having an AOPA certificate and applying for airspace.
Q: Which drones are exempt from real-name registration?
A: Pocket drones with a maximum take-off weight of less than 250 grams. This standard is very strict, and it is almost difficult for drones to “survive”.
