UAS Regulations

Regulations:

The KCAA Kenya published The Civil Aviation (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Regulations 2020 https://t.co/wSo40BqYuR Kenya Gazette Suppl 34, 30 March 2020, (Legislative Suppl No. 22) https://kcaa.or.ke/sites/default/files/regulation/Civil%20Aviation%20%28Unmanned%20Aircraft%20Systems%29%20Regulations%202020.pdf , Legal Notice No. 42, The Civil Aviation Act (No. 21 Of 2013).

Here is the UAS 'landing page': https://kcaa.or.ke/safety-%26-security-oversight/unmanned-aircraft-systems

It has been reported that two volumes are remaining:

We are however still waiting for the second schedule (licensing of RPAS pilots) and the third schedule (penalties) to be released. https://t.co/vwjNHgwKDT

These regulations appear to follow an operation centric risk-based approach where applications can be made to the CAA. It appears to therefore allow BVLOS, etc. (Category C Operations (High Risk/Manned Aviation Approach) however it may be complex as: ‘… UAS in operated in this category shall be issued with a Certificate of
Airworthiness by the Authority’.
