Legal aspects of regulation of flights of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Russian Federation

The latest technologies in recent years have allowed ordinary people to use unmanned aerial vehicles for personal purposes. Such rapid development of unmanned aircraft has formed a significant gap in the Russian legislation, with regard to the regulation of unmanned aircraft flights. The domestic legislator has made attempts to resolve this issue by establishing the requirements for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, depending on their capacity. Also, the procedure for registration and registration of unmanned aerial vehicles was developed. Also, the legislator introduced administrative responsibility for vio- lations of the rules of flight and registration of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, a practical solution in this area has not been developed, as a result of which registration and control of the flights of unmanned aerial vehicles is not carried out. This in turn requires a more complete formation and systematization of the legal framework for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the development of a mechanism for monitoring and mandatory prosecution of violators. A detailed study of the procedure for registration of unmanned aerial vehicles allowed identifying a number of significant shortcomings, without which the practical implementation of this activity remains questionable. During the study, an analysis of the currently used in the Russian Federation methods of regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles flights was carried out. The question of the need and practical possibility of introducing a “no-fly zone” over individual objects and territories as a solution to the identified problematic issues of regulation of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for personal purposes is considered the creation of a unified state concept is proposed.
