New Unmanned Aircraft Flying Area off Dover Road
CAAS has established the second Unmanned Aircraft Flying Area (UAFA) for the public at a 0.6 ha site off Dover Road, offering a flying area over land and greenery. The UAFA was opened by Minister for Transport Mr Chee Hong Tat on 6 July 2024 and complements the inaugural UAFA at Pandan Reservoir launched in July 2022.
The establishment of UAFAs was a key recommendation of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Advisory Panel which AAIS was delighted to participate in. The Panel was set up in 2019 to help CAAS review and recommend enhancements to Singapore’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems regulatory framework. Read more by clicking on the image.

CAAS reviews UA Regulations
With effect from 6 July 2024, CAAS will regulate UA light shows just on an operator and activity basis and remove the need for operators to register each UA involved in the light show. The cost of conducting a light show will be very significantly reduced as a result. CAAS has amended Air Navigation (101 – Unmanned Aircraft Operations) Regulations 2019 (“ANR-101”) to effect this change.
CAAS has also set up a new framework for UA operations over roads. Under this framework, CAAS will grant approval to UA Operator Permit holders that meet the regulatory requirements to conduct such operations. The rule change will help enhance operational efficiency and reduce business cost.
