UAS Regulations

In October 2019, the Burundi CAA published regulations for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems in French, with updates to related BURUNDI AERONAUTICAL REGULATIONS:

RAB 06.3 SYSTEMES D’AERONEFS TELEPILOTES  (Version 2: Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems; the initial edition was May 2018).

It appears that VLOS only is allowed, however, an unofficial translation of Article 15. Detection and avoidance follows: 

Any unmanned aircraft system to be operated beyond the line-of-sight flight must be equipped with a detection and avoidance system.
