45,000 civilian drones registered

Some 45,000 civilian drones have been registered under real names since a new rule was introduced to improve civil aviation safety, an official said on Tuesday. On June 1, China required civilian drones weighing more than 250 grams to be registered under real names after several cases of civilian drones posing a threat to civil aviation safety. Drone owners must register before Aug 31. The registration process has gained support from manufacturers and users, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
