GB 46761-2025 Registration and activation requirements for civil unmanned aircraft
Abstract
This document establishes the overall process for real-name registration and activation of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, stipulates the technical requirements for real-name registration and activation, and describes the corresponding testing methods.
This document applies to the management of real-name registration and activation of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (including those produced, sold, and used under the name of flying toy model aircraft, and products with actual functions and technical parameters meeting the standards for civilian unmanned aerial vehicles) engaged in flight or related activities within China.
This document does not apply to the real-name registration and activation management of flying toys and model aircraft with self-propelled power systems, as well as those owned by police, customs, and emergency management departments.
Note 1: Flying toys refer to remote-controlled toys with a maximum flight altitude of no more than 30 m, a maximum takeoff weight of less than 0.25 kg, a maximum flight horizontal distance of no more than 100 m, a maximum flight speed of no more than 18 km/h, and radio transmission equipment that meets the requirements of micropower short-range technology. They do not carry photographic and control equipment and are operated by humans throughout the flight.
Note 2: Model aircraft, also known as aerial models, refer to unmanned aerial vehicles with size and weight restrictions, which cannot carry people and do not have automatic height-keeping and position-keeping flight functions. They include free-flying, line-controlled, directly visually controlled within sight, and first-person view-controlled model aircraft. The technical specifications of model aircraft are: a total lift area of no more than 500 dm2, a maximum takeoff weight of no more than 25 kg (including fuel and power batteries), a piston engine cylinder working volume of no more than 250 cm3, a motor power supply op
