1. Can I fly my drone if there are no clear regulations?
To avoid potential trouble, it's best not to fly in areas where you're unsure about the drone restrictions. However, if you notice others flying their drones, it's likely safe to follow their lead and fly yours as well.
2. What's the maximum altitude I can fly?
In regular areas, you're allowed to fly below 120 meters once your drone is registered. If you need to fly higher than 120 meters, you'll have to apply for permission from the CAAC.
3. Are there other Apps to check the NFZ?
DJI’s map remains the most commonly used resource within China, but even it can be incomplete. Always check local regulations or consult with locals for more specific information.
Even if a place appears to be flyable on the map, it may still be restricted, as some cities or tourist spots have their own drone regulations. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us for guidance.
4. Why am I not allowed to fly my drone even though it is registered?
In some areas (such as Shanghai), you need to obtain permission to fly your drone even if it is registered with the CAAC. You can only fly in specific areas with this permission, which is typically valid for only 2-3 days, and the process can be complicated.
5. Can the airport or customs stop me if my drone is not registered?
Typically, customs at the airport won’t stop you or confiscate your drone if it’s not registered. If you're just stopping over and don’t plan to fly the drone, registration may not be necessary.
