New Zealand drone rules aren’t separated into recreational and commercial rules like some other countries.
You must follow the Part 101 rules when flying your drone.
If you need to fly outside the Part 101 drone rules, you will need to hold a Part 102 unmanned aircraft operator certificate.
Please consider investing in your own knowledge and skills by undertaking a drone pilot course.
If you have any questions about drones, use our contact form, or email rpas@caa.govt.nz
