Press release: September 5, 2019

Users of remotely piloted aircraft must meet three important requirements.  

To operate a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA, for its acronym in English), also known as a drone, it is necessary to meet certain requirements, reported the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) of the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC).

In accordance with the provisions of the Complementary Technical Standard (NTC 001-2015), these technological devices are subject to Peruvian aeronautical legislation. That is why any person or organization that wishes to fly over a unit of this type must:

1. Register it. The operator of a drone will request a registration card from the Directorate of Certifications and Authorizations of the DGAC in which they will record the equipment data. This document is requested in person at the MTC headquarters (Jr. Zorritos 1203, Cercado de Lima) or at the Citizen Service Centers that the sector has in the regions. This process takes 48 hours.

2. Accredit the pilot. The DGAC will qualify a citizen as a drone operator as long as he has been trained and certified by a Civil Aviation Instruction Center or an airport institution accredited by the ministry. And, in addition, approve the theoretical evaluation taken by the Coordination of Aeronautical Licenses.

3. Request permission to fly over. There is no restriction for overflight in rural areas. However, if you want to manipulate a drone in an urban area, the pilot must request a permit from the MTC in advance. The document must be entered by the party table - addressed to the DGAC - indicating the date, time and coordinates in which the device will be used.

Compliance with these requirements guarantees the safety of people, avoids interference in the operations of airspace users and damage to private property.

Fact:

The overflight of drones in restricted areas, such as the Government Palace, military areas, airports, archaeological centers and protected natural areas is prohibited, unless authorized by the corresponding entities.
