Unmanned Aircraft “Black Flight” Under Scrutiny! Multiple regions have begun preparations for the 2026 inaugural flight event, with several individuals already having been detained for five days.
As of January 31, 2026, at 18:22, the Fast Technology app reported that on January 31, 2026, during the upcoming Spring Festival, numerous people are expected to be involved in the unmanned aircraft regulatory process. However, caution is needed due to the “Black Flight” incidents.
Starting from January 1 of this year, the revised Regulations on Civil Aviation Administration have been implemented, leading to stricter regulations on unmanned aircraft operations.
Many regions have commenced preparations for the 2026 inaugural flight event, and individuals in Beijing have been detained for five days due to unauthorized flight operations.
The “Black Flight” incidents refer to unauthorized drone activities that have not been approved by regulatory authorities. Previously, “Black Flights” were often handled under civil aviation laws, typically resulting in warnings or fines.
Following the new regulations, the “Black Flight” designation has been clearly defined as a serious violation, resulting in increased penalties.
Additionally, common violations involving unmanned aircraft are categorized as micro-class (less than 0.25 kg) and light-class (less than 4 kg). Although specialized licensing is not required for these classes, they must still comply with the national management system for unmanned aerial vehicles.
In conclusion, if there is a need for further clarification, please reach out to the Fast Technology team: “Unmanned Aircraft Black Flight” refers to unauthorized drone activities.
