KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 — Commercial and recreational drone owners will have to register their drones with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia’s Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management , English dailyThe system will be set up by the third quarter of 2025 that will mandate a drone to be registered and permission to be granted before taking off, CAAM chief executive officer Captain Datuk Norazman Mahmud told the daily.
“In U1, when you buy a drone, you register it with your name in the system. U2 will address the flight approval process. U3 are advanced services supporting more complex operations in dense areas, such as assistance for conflict detection and automated detect-and-avoid functionality,” he said.“The operation of the UAS TM will involve multiple agencies, including the Chief Government Security Office, the Survey and Mapping Department and Sirim.
“However, for more complex commercial operations, such as pipeline monitoring or agricultural tasks, additional oversight and certification will be required,” Norazman was quoted as saying. He also disclosed that around 80 per cent of drones were used recreationally, and the rest were for surveillance and transport.
Under the new system, failure to register will result in a fine of up to RM50,000, or jailed for up to three years, or both. But corporations may be liable to a maximum fine of RM100,000.
