Did you know?

 

If you want to fly your drone, UAV, or UAS (Formerly know as RPAS), in South Africa for private use (meaning that there is no commercial gain), you can only fly in RVLOS or Restricted Visual Line of Sight.

Essentially, that means you have to fly within 500m of the remote pilot and below the height of the highest obstacle within 300m of the Remotely Piloted Aircraft.
