Dji Usage in Singapore
I. Understanding the Regulations
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), flying a drone for recreational or leisure purposes requires registration based on the weight of the drone.
Less than 250 grams total weight, no registration required
For weights between 250g and 1.5kg, registration is required, but basic training or a basic training certificate is not required.
Failure to comply may result in a fine of up to S$10,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months, or both.
Please note: DJI Mini series drones weigh less than 250 grams and do not require registration, but note that if you install accessories such as paddle guards or long-life batteries (e.g. Mini 4 Pro), they will exceed 250 grams and will need to be registered and flown, just like the DJI Air, Mavic and other models.
