UAE / Abu dhabi drone registration help

[Badboydj]

Hey guys I got my GCAA certificate today. As I was looking for the information below, I know it would be useful to the people on my level.

Here is my experience with it:

1) I signed up online on the GCAA website. Which included me signing up on the website and then adding a drone to my profile.

2) Once the above was over, I got an email from GCAA to come collect the certificate from dubai office after showing the originals I submitted with the application (Emirates ID, Visa copy, picture of drone), I went to the GCAA office behind carrefour airport road instead.

3) My certificate was not ready at that branch, lady at reception spoke to the dubai office who then asked me to mail the GCAA common mail to send my certificate to Abu Dhabi. Once I did that I received a confirmation mail, stating that they will notify me once its ready for pickup. Took them 2 days + 2 days weekend to get it to Abu Dhabi. And I picked it up today showing them nothing but my Emirates ID.

All above was Free of cost

To my disappointment, it was nothing but a piece of paper with all the information I typed in while registering on a stamped company letter head.

I hope this information helps as now I feel more confident to fly higher. Not to mention that i have flow to a height of 121m without it and I have total of 43 "test" flights already

The law mentions that it's not allowed to use a camera on the drone. I was affraid to register the mavic because of this. Was the camera visible in the picture you submitted?

His guys. Yes my question is also regarding registering a Dron in Abu Dhabi that has a camera. Is it possible or will they not allow it ?? I know you can in Dubai but everything I've seen says no camera in Abu dhabi.

Thank you in advance

You can register it. But you cannot fly it.

Just wondering when you registered your drone via GCAA it asks if your drone has a camera...which almost all drones do. So if cameras are not allowed how can you register or do you say it doesn't have a camera?
