Abstract
The article identifies some deficiencies and gaps in the legal regulation and operation of the unmanned aerial vehicles such as quadcopters which are used for quick photo and video shooting of the scene under inspection in the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Russian Federation. The article describes the possible difficulties in using the airspace near airports and other strategically important objects. In our country the regulatory legal framework for the use of unmanned aircraft is determined by the Federal Law of March 19, 1997 No. 60-FL “The Air Code of the Russian Federation” (referred to as the RF AC), according to which absolutely all unmanned aerial systems and (or) their elements must be subject to mandatory certification. It was revealed that the certificate of airworthiness for these aircraft should be issued on the basis of a simple certificate or an act of assessment of a single aircraft. It has been established that unmanned aerial systems and (or) their elements, which include unmanned civil aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of up to 30 kilograms, also fall under these rules. The article determines some administrative and legal aspects of using technical means of photo and video recording, such as quadcopters, as an example. The article analyzes the administrative sanctions for violation of the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, on the basis of which the operators of such aircraft can choose the optimal usage mode.
