Civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) of a weight exceeding 800g

Order on the audible warning of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (3 pages, in French)

This draft order therefore aims to supplement, in order to guarantee public safety and State security, French legislation concerning UAVs, i.e. the Order of 17 December 2015 on the design of civilian UAVs, the conditions for their use and the skills required by those using them, and the Order of 17 December 2015 on the use of airspace by UAVs, as amended on 30 March 2017.

It lays down the features of the audible warning device stipulated in Article L6214-5 of the Transport Code which shall be installed on UAVs registered from 1 July 2018. However, only drones registered in France pursuant to Article L6111-1 of the Transport Code after 1 July 2018 shall be required to comply with the obligation to have an audible warning.
