Federal ministry: Clear regulations for the operation of drones

German Air Traffic Control estimates the number of private drones in Germany at 500,000; the 2016 Christmas season alone witnessed the addition of 100,000 new systems. The rapid rise in the sale of drones increases the risk of collisions, crashes, and accidents. The obligation of drone owners to have proper insurance coverage has been in place since 2005. And now it is time for clear regulations to ensure air traffic safety beyond model airfields: in 2015, fourteen flying objects were sighted in close proximity to airplanes and helicopters, and in 2016 there were sixty reports. In January 2017, Minister Dobrindt ultimately introduced an interstate drone ordinance for Germany: the most important cornerstones relate to labelling requirements, drone licensing requirements, flight altitudes, and flight areas.
