How do national and international aviation laws and regulatory frameworks impact drone operations in agricultural fields, especially in restricted airspaces?
National and international aviation laws shape agricultural drone operations by defining airspace categories, pilot licensing, UAS certification, BVLOS permissions and data/privacy rules; for example India’s Drone Rules/DigitalSky framework sets registration, pilot and operational permissions and type-certification requirements, while frameworks like FAA Part 107 (US) and EASA rules (EU) govern remote pilot certification, operational limits and safety frameworks—restricted airspaces, cross-border flights and inconsistent national standards can constrain scalability unless harmonized.
