New Drone Regulations: Mandatory Insurance, Registration, and Heavy Fines

The act introduces clear rules for drone usage in Poland, aligning national law with EU regulations. Drone operators with devices weighing over 0.25 kg must have civil liability insurance, and severe financial penalties apply for failing to register or violating flight zones. Security services are authorized to disable, destroy, or take control of drones that pose a threat.
Key points
Mandatory Liability Insurance: Operators of drones weighing between 0.25 kg and 20 kg must have civil liability insurance (fine of PLN 4,000 for non-compliance).
Registration and Qualifications: A mandatory registry for drone operators is established, along with training, exam, and certification requirements (minimum pilot age is 14).
Heavy Fines: Flying in restricted geographical zones or failing to register as an operator can result in a fine of up to PLN 10,000.
Security Services Powers: Police, military, and other services can shoot down, immobilize, or seize control of drones posing a threat or violating restricted areas.
Geographical Zones: The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) will designate specific geographical zones for drone flights, which may require a fee.
