4. Prohibited operation of unmanned aircraft
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2025. 2 amendments in all.
A person must not operate an unmanned aircraft outdoors within the boundaries of any part of the airspace over Singapore to which any declaration under regulation 55C(1)(a) of the Air Navigation (91 — General Operating Rules) Regulations 2018 (G.N. No. S 441/2018) applies and has effect.
A person who contravenes paragraph (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —
for a first offence, to a fine not exceeding $50,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both; and
for a second or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding $100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to both.
In a prosecution for an offence under paragraph (2), it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that the person charged with the offence intended to commit the offence.
To avoid doubt, a UA operator permit, a UA pilot licence, an activity permit and a UA cross-border permit do not authorise the holder to act in contravention of paragraph (1).
