The Honduras agency responsible for drone safety, AHAC, has provided several internet-accessible details on flying for fun or work. The highlights are enumerated below. For more details, go to the link above. Are drones allowed in Honduras? According to AHAC, drone use is allowed in Honduras, subject to AHAC regulations. Read on for more details. Drone Classifications in Honduras Honduras classifies drones by weight and use. Compliance varies by classification.

The RPAS must be manufactured in all its components of suitable materials that break, distort, or yield on impact to minimize the risk to any person, structure, or object in the collision event. Do not exceed weight (takeoff mass) beyond what is allowed according to its category. Have the appropriate means for deployment and recovery to operate safely (landing gear, skid, net, parachute, etc.). Possess an assisted flight system (flight controller) that provides the RPAS with controllable steady-state operation every moment. Positioning system (GPS) and data recorder (logbook flight) onboard that report position and store information on the operations. Security mechanisms (RTH, RTL, etc.) facilitate automatic return in case of loss of communications with the ground control station or other emergencies. A robust radio communication system(s) that guarantees command and control at all times, as well as the telemetry of essential data to the remote pilot during operations. Such systems must not cause interference and be resistant to interference. A remote pilot interface OR ground control station is reliable, compatible with the remote pilot, and capable of providing command means to control and provide data visualization of flight, all in real-time during the entire operation. Have all the technical documentation relevant to the operation, maintenance, and history of the RPAS (manuals, instructions, logs, etc.). Here are the most important rules to know for flying a drone in Honduras: “RPAS” operation is not permitted above 400 feet (122 meters), above ground level (AGL). The operation of “RPAS” is not allowed when adverse conditions exist and/or meteorological risk factors (strong winds, precipitation, rain, atypical solar activity, etc.). The operation of the “RPAS” is not allowed beyond the Pilot’s visual range. It is not allowed to operate two or more “RPAS” simultaneously by the same Remote Pilot. The operation of an “RPAS” by the Remote Pilot is not allowed under the influence of the ingestion of alcoholic beverages or psychotropic or narcotic drugs that affect the psychomotor response and situational awareness. “RPAS” operation is not allowed at night time (between twilight evening civilian twilight and morning civil twilight, from the official sunset at the official sunrise time), nor daytime conditions instrument flight (IFR). It is not allowed to throw OR release objects from the “RPAS” during its operation. The operation of “RPAS” is not allowed in prohibited, restricted, or dangerous in Honduran airspace published in the current AIP in Honduras. “RPAS” operations are not allowed within a radius of: 2.7 miles nautical (5 kilometers) around an airport, 1.5 nautical miles (3 kilometers) from an uncontrolled aerodrome, and 0.5 nautical miles (1 kilometer) of a heliport, “RPAS” operations are not allowed near crewed aircraft and air operations. The operation of “RPAS” on military installations and entities is not allowed.
