W internecie można znaleźć sprzeczne informacje na temat rekreacyjnego używania dronów w Malezji. Kilka miesięcy temu weszło w życie nowe prawo, które praktycznie zakazuje używania jakichkolwiek dronów na terenie kraju. Tak, dotyczy to także popularnych modeli ważących mniej niż 250g. Trzeba spełnić wiele formalności, co najmniej na 2 tygodnie przed każdym planowanym lotem (nawet rekreacyjnym), zapłacić 250 RM (ok. 250 zł) za pozwolenie na każdy lot, a także wiele innych wymagań. Grzywna za nielegalne używanie drona to 50.000 RM (ok. 50.000 złotych).

Poniżej wklejam oficjalną odpowiedź, jaką uzyskałem od tamtejszego Urzędu Lotnictwa Cywilnego (CAAM):

Thank you for contacting Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia. I hope this email finds you in a good health. There are multiple regulatory authorities overseeing drone regulations in Malaysia, including CAAM, SIRIM, and JUPEM. SIRIM ensures that drones and their components meet safety and quality standards, while JUPEM regulates drone operations and issues permits for aerial photography/mapping activities involving drones with cameras.

With regards to your inquiry on Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS/Drone) authorization to fly in Malaysia, you need to apply for Authorization to Fly (ATF) even if it is for recreational purposes or personal use. This is due to emphasize all UAS/drone flight activities in Malaysia are currently bound to Malaysia Civil Aviation Regulation (MCAR) 2016 Regulation 140 – 144. All drones to fly within Malaysian Airspace require authorization to fly issued by CAAM.

The completed application form and required supporting documents shall be sent to drone.atf@caam.gov.my at least 14 working days prior to the proposed activity date. CAAM reserves the right to reject incomplete or late submissions. The application fee for a drone weighing below 20 kg is RM250 per application, while for a drone weighing more than 20 kg, it is RM1000 per application.

Any aerial photography required to apply for permission from the JUPEM - (Application for Authorization of Imaging/Data Capture). Non-Malaysian citizens must have a guarantor from Malaysian citizens to apply. Any ATF application related to aerial photography is required to have the JUPEM provisional Permit. If you have difficulty obtaining a JUPEM Provisional permit, you may request assistance/inquiry with the link - https://www.jupem.gov.my/en/maklum-balas. I have looped in the representative from JUPEM in this email trail. You may make your queries to iffah@jupem.gov.my. All Drone / UAS flying at Malaysia Airspace are required to have SIRIM / MCMC approval. You may check with this link or you can check if your drone / UAS is approved via this - (Quick links > Check your label > Search Product Serial No. Information). "No flying zone" can be found on the CAAM website under publications > Aeronautical Information Services (AIS). Please find the area of no flying zone by clicking: https://aip.caam.gov.my/aip/eAIP/2025-0 ... html#ENR-5

Below I have attached links for an advanced guide regarding flying the drone. Any hesitations or questions feel free to contact us again.
