New Zealand launches first global aviation rule to speed drone innovation with streamlined testing and oversight.
New Zealand has launched a global-first aviation rule to accelerate aerospace innovation by reducing regulatory hurdles.
The new framework allows rapid testing of drone and aviation tech in controlled environments without repeated approvals for minor changes.
It shifts low-risk operations—like night and beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights in enclosed spaces—under 25kg to Part 101, permitting surveying and mapping without certification.
Agricultural spraying, topdressing, and toxic agents remain restricted to higher-risk Part 102 oversight.
Technical updates are now managed via a faster-moving Transport Instrument.
The Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre gained permanent special-use airspace and $5.85 million in funding.
The reforms aim to boost rural development, reduce red tape, and strengthen New Zealand’s position in advanced aviation while maintaining safety.
