Abstract

Poland was one of the first European countries to adopt rules for the operation of drones at national level. During the first years, the regulator was more focused on VLOS operations. BVLOS were only allowed to operate in segregated airspace. The new law significantly simplifies the procedures by allowing for certain types of BVLOS operations to be operated outside of segregated airspace, at very low levels. This paper will analyze how national legislation is dealing with new technology, focusing on the new law on BVLOS operations.
