Abstract

The article presents a theoretical review and a new solution to the scientific problem of determining the nature and characteristics of liability for violation of the procedure for the airspace usage by unmanned aircraft, of characterising the concept and elements of liability, which has enabled to prove a number of new scientific provisions and conclusions aimed at improving the legislation establishing legal liability in the field under study. It is noted that, due to adopting a number of legal and regulations, important steps have been taken during the independence of Ukraine to improve the legal situation with regard to the airspace usage by aircraft. However, some substantive issues still remain to be properly addressed in this field nowadays. These are the legislative regulatory mechanism for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, which makes the study presented relevant. It is noted that the current legislation establishes two key types of legal liability for violation of the use of airspace by unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular: criminal and administrative. However, it was emphasized that it is also expedient to distinguish a separate type of liability – disciplinary, which applies to persons who use unmanned aircraft in the performance of their labor (official) function.

Keywords: atmosphere, airspace, aircraft, aerial vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicles, liability, legal liability, legal regulatory framework, aviation activities.
