JAKARTA - The Minister of Transportation, Budi Karya Sumadi, said that the use of drone technology systems that are increasingly developing requires good regulation through regulations such as for manned aircraft.
"Drones can potentially be misused for bad purposes. Drones are one of the top five threat ratings for aviation safety, people and land assets," said Transportation Minister Budi Karya in a written statement in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, December 18.
He said, in the future drones would not only be used for military purposes, hobbies, photography, mapping or documentation. However, it is hoped that it can provide internet connection in remote areas and even support the activities of sending logistics / goods / packages to an area.
Seeing this condition, Budi Karya Sumadi said drones can provide great benefits for the community. However, if not properly managed and managed, drones can cause problems.
According to the Minister of Transportation, steps should be taken to increase risk mitigation to ensure compliance with safety, security and aviation services.
The Minister of Transportation added that seeing the drone operation later in the same airspace as a manned aircraft, the same regulations must also be applied to drone operation, although with a different approach.
"The regulation in question is airline certification for drones transporting goods, type certification, registration and identification, and integrated traffic management," he said.
Currently, a number of countries are still developing regulatory frameworks related to the operation of drones to transport goods according to the requirements of each country.
The Minister of Transportation hopes that the standard harmonization of drone regulations for transporting goods around the world can be achieved soon so that later Indonesia can participate in the use of drone technology while still prioritizing flight safety and security.
Currently the Indonesian government already has a regulation regarding the use of drones which is stated in the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number PM 47 of 2016.
This rule is an improvement of the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number PM 180 of 2015 concerning Control of Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Airspace Served by Indonesia.
In the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation Number PM 47/2016 regulates the provisions for submitting loss insurance documents in the permit application and the provisions regarding sanctions for negligence and / or deviation from the provisions for operating unmanned aircraft
