drohnenstudie.de consumers in Germany will purchase approximately 1.3 million drones in 2018. The majority of these are semi-professional drones weighing between 250 grams and two kilograms, and no special skills are required to pilot them. Heavier drones require a "drone license." Drones are also becoming increasingly popular as toys – around 290,000 of these remote-controlled miniature aircraft will find their way into the rooms of children of all ages. Information on what to pay attention to when piloting them and what is strictly prohibited can be found on the German Air Traffic Control website .
