answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2019 answer text <p>The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have published new product standards for drones which will become fully applicable by 2022. Some of these standards include the mandatory requirement for drones to be fitted with a geo-awareness software before being placed on the market. This software will notify the pilot when the drone is entering a restricted zone and when it’s coming close to other aircraft. This new requirement will ensure that our airspace is safely shared and managed more effectively to maintain the UK’s strong air safety record.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 26/06/2019 12:18:25 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
