Petition of Aviation Industry Association of New Zealand: Stop agricultural drone deregulation
sUAS News
The Aviation Industry Association of New Zealand has launched a petition to urge the government to stop the deregulation of agricultural drones. This comes as the country considers relaxing regulations surrounding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in farming.
The association argues that rapid and unfettered drone access to New Zealand's airspace could pose significant risks to aviation safety, particularly in areas with high aircraft traffic. They believe that navigating this new technology requires careful consideration and robust safety frameworks.
