In an interview with the Robotics Law Journal, Remi Vesvre, senior advisor at the regulator, says that the Agency is 'tempted to revise' the rules, which date back to 2009. 'We have learnt a lot since then,' he says. At the moment, the requirements for using drones hinge on whether the purpose is commercial. A risk-based approach, however, would take account of the kind of drone being used and the type of operation it was being used for.
New Zealand in the vanguard
New Zealand, which has risk-based rules, is seen as being one of the leading regulators in the world. With large rural areas and smaller cities, New Zealand represents less of a challenge for designers of drone rules than jurisdictions which are heavily populated.
