China issued a requirement on Thursday that civilian drones weighing more than 250g be registered under real names. The new regulation aims to improve civil aviation safety.

The real-name registration platform was trialed in May. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is also working on new systems to share and check registration data.

The CAAC has also introduced a number of “no-fly zones” for civilian drones near airports.
