Peru. To operate a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), also known as a drone, it is necessary to meet certain requirements, reported the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, MTC.
In accordance with the provisions of the Complementary Technical Standard (NTC 001-2015), these technological devices are subject to Peruvian aeronautical legislation. That is why any person or organization wishing to fly over such a unit must:
1. Register it. The operator of a drone will request from the Directorate of Certifications and Authorizations of the DGAC a registration card in which he will record the data of the equipment. This document is requested in person at the headquarters of the MTC (Jr. Zorritos 1203, Cercado de Lima) or at the Citizen Service Centers that the sector has in the regions. This procedure takes 48 hours.
2. Accredit the pilot. The DGAC will enable a citizen as a drone operator as long as he has been trained and certified by a Civil Aviation Instruction Center or an airport institution accredited by the ministry. And, in addition, pass the theoretical evaluation taken by the Coordination of Aeronautical Licenses.
3. Request permission to overflight. There is no restriction on overflight in rural areas. However, if you want to manipulate a drone in an urban area, the pilot must apply in advance for a permit from the MTC. The document must be entered by table of parts -addressed to the DGAC- indicating date, time and coordinates in which it will make use of the device.
Compliance with these requirements ensures the safety of people, prevents interference in the operations of airspace users and damage to private property.

The overflight of drones in restricted areas, such as the Government Palace, military areas, airports, archaeological centers and protected natural areas, is prohibited, unless authorized by the corresponding entities.
