Abstract: A small flying object breaks away from the flock of birds over the blue sky, navigating independently. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, as they are commonly referred to, have become common phenomena flying over people and property. Their growing presence in civilian airspace has prompted authorities worldwide to establish national regulations, including the international civil aviation organisation, which is working to create a UAS ecosystem that is standardised and regulated. The fast expansion of UAS worldwide has resulted in several legal and ethical concerns related to using UAS. Discussion is required regarding the issues of the rights of individuals on the ground, the safety of life and property, rogue unmanned aerial systems, and the requirement for standardised operating rules. The role that UAS will play and the policy direction they should follow worldwide will be determined by the lessons learnt from the framework of manned aviation, together with active consultation with stakeholders.
