SINGAPORE – A temporary restricted area will be established around the National Stadium on some dates from June to August for the National Day Parade 2016 (NDP 2016).
This is to ensure the safety of low-level aircraft participating in the aerial flypast for NDP 2016, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore in a statement on Monday (June 6).
The restricted area will encompass the National Stadium and its surrounding areas, and will extend from ground level to 4,000 feet above mean sea level.
During the stated dates and timings, unauthorised aerial activities such as flying of unmanned aircraft, kite-flying, and hoisting of captive balloon, are banned within or into the temporary restricted area. They may endanger the aircraft participating in the aerial flypast as well as people and property on the ground.
The reserve dates may be utilised in the event of poor weather conditions.
If found guilty of conducting unauthorised aerial activities within or into the temporary restricted area, a first-time offender can be fined up to $20,000. For subsequent offences, an individual can be fined up to $40,000 or imprisoned for up to 15 months.
