ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using
drones. A total of 20 men and women between 18 and above were randomly selected to be the
respondent of study. A set of questionnaire was design to gain primary data from the respondent
about the advantages and disadvantages of using drone among community. The overall findings
of the study indicates that advantages of using drone are mostly for future development,
recreation and they are affordable to own. However, this research has found that disadvantages
of using drones are mostly prone to accident, easily abused and it also strict regulation. From
the result of this study it is recommended MCAR 2016 section that related to the drones should
be revised or amends for future development and to avoid violation for safety purpose.

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without

a human pilot aboard. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS),
which include a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between
the two. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under
remote control by a human operator or autonomously by on board computers.
Compared to manned aircraft, UAVs were originally used for missions too "dull, dirty
or dangerous" for humans. While they originated mostly in military applications, their use
is rapidly expanding to commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other
applications, such as policing, peacekeeping, and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial
photography, smuggling, and drone racing.
The purpose of this study is to discover the pros and cons of the civilian drone to our
today’s community and to make people concern about the implementation of the FAA law
requirement to fly the drone.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Any system on this world that have been create by human have its pros and cons and
Drones cannot be exceptional. Drones are aircraft devices that are capable of flying and
carrying materials above the ground. The formal name of the device is an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV). These devices are part of unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The
components of these devices are communication systems, a ground-based controller, and
unmanned aerial equipment. The controllers of an unmanned aerial vehicle can be both
either an automated set of computers or a human operator. Drones provide useful missions
to prevent injuries, accidents, and hazards when it involves navigating in an environment
that is not suitable for human survival. Today, drones are now undergoing a
commercialization process because it is now being manufactured and produced by
technological and logistics companies around the world.

1
 Drones are very popular because mass media networks patronize its functionality and
efficiency when capturing videos and images. You will notice that drones are common in
touristy areas due to travel blogger promotions. Video bloggers use drones to further
increase the popularity of their videos; hence, promoting the device to other new vloggers.
Travel companies use drones to maximize the tourism potential of an area that is popular
to all tourists.
There are concerns or troubles in drones that affects user’s navigation routine. A local
government unit sometimes restricts the use of drones when there is an ongoing military
conflict. Drones are also blocked from entering a restricted zone such as military facilities
that are conducting experimentation and active military training inside their camps. It’s also
because drone disturb residential area privacy whereby they fly and spying for some
criminal reason that make people feel scared. These growing restrictions prompts drone
users to consider the rules and regulations of drone usage to a certain area so that they will
not be subjected to either ethical or legal violations. User violators are at risk for legal
apprehension that could mandate them to pay for financial compensation or imprisonment
for several days if caught violating laws.

1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of the study described in this research report was to know the pros and
cons of the civilian drone and to determine reason from community on the law of civilian
drone should be restricted its implementation or not.

The objective of this study are:

1. To determine the advantages of drone to civilian.

2. To investigate the disadvantages of the drone to general community.
3. To analyze community reaction towards the enforcement of the law of civilian drone
should be restricted or not.

2
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION

1. What are the advantages of drone to civilian?

2. What are the disadvantages of the drone to general community?
3. How community reaction towards the enforcement of the law of civilian drone should
be restricted or not?

1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY

The findings of this study are important to know the advantages and disadvantages of
the drone towards nowadays community and also to know the reason from them about the
restriction of the law of the civilian drone
We hope from this research will make people concern about the advantages and
disadvantages of drone in daily life and make them be aware about the law implementation
of the civilian drone because every country region have different law.

1.6 SCOPE

This study involved the participants of 20 people that are from citizen, technical staff,
KLIA staff and student. The respondents, who were the age of 18 and above, were randomly
selected. Lot of the staff and workers respondent have working experience more than 1
years. The data collected via questionnaires were distributed on 25 March 2019.

 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

A drone, in technological terms, is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally

known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes).
Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously
through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, working in conjunction
with on board sensors and GPS. In the recent past, UAVs were most often associated with the
military, where they were used initially for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering
and then, more controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones have advantages and
disadvantages such as roles ranging from search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring,
weather monitoring and firefighting, to personal drones and business drone-based photography,
as well as videography, agriculture and even delivery services. But all systems have their own
limitation such as prone to accident, high cost, disturb people privacy and others.

2.2 HISTORY

Many trace the history of drones to 1849 Italy, when Venice was fighting for its
independence from Austria. Austrian soldiers attacked Venice with hot-air, hydrogen- or
helium-filled balloons equipped with bombs.

The first pilotless radio-controlled aircraft were used in World War I. In 1918, the U.S. Army
developed the experimental Kettering Bug, an unmanned "flying bomb" aircraft, which was
never used in combat.

The first generally used drone appeared in 1935 as a full-size retooling of the de
Havilland DH82B "Queen Bee" biplane, which was fitted with a radio and servo-operated
controls in the back seat. The plane could be conventionally piloted from the front seat, but
generally it flew unmanned and was shot at by artillery gunners in training. The term drone
dates to this initial use, a play on the "Queen Bee" nomenclature.

4
 UAV technology continued to be of interest to the military, but it was often too
unreliable and costly to put into use. After concerns about the shooting down of spy planes
arose, the military revisited the topic of unmanned aerial vehicles. Military use of drones soon
expanded to play roles in dropping leaflets and acting as spying decoys.

Military drone use solidified in 1982 when the Israeli Air Force used UAVs to wipe out
the Syrian fleet with minimal loss of Israeli forces. The Israeli UAVs acted as decoys, jammed
communication and offered real-time video reconnaissance.

Drones have continued to be a mainstay in the military, playing critical roles in

intelligence, surveillance and force protection, artillery spotting, target following and
acquisition, battle damage assessment and reconnaissance, as well as for weaponry.

2.3 TYPES OF DRONES

Drone platforms have two main types: rotor, including single-rotor or multi-rotor (such
as tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters and octocoptors), or fixed-wing, which include the
hybrid VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) drones that don't require runways.

Drones can be categorized as either personal/hobbyist or commercial/enterprise.

Drones can be equipped with a number of sensors, including distance sensors (ultrasonic, laser,
lidar), time-of-flight sensors, chemical sensors, and stabilization and orientation sensors,
among others. Visual sensors offer still or video data, with RGB sensors collecting standard

5
visual red, green and blue wavelengths, and multispectral sensors collecting visible and non-
visible wavelengths, such as infrared and ultraviolet. Accelerometers, gyroscopes,
magnetometers, barometers and GPS are also common drone features.

For example, thermal sensors can be integral in surveillance or security applications,

such as livestock monitoring or heat-signature detection. Hyperspectral sensors can help
identify minerals and vegetation, and are ideal for use in crop health, water quality and surface
composition.

Many personal drones are now available for consumer use, offering HD video or still
camera capabilities, or to simply fly around. These drones often weigh anywhere from less than
a pound to 10 pounds.

Stronger, more capable drones are also available for use in commercial settings. For
example, Insitu, a Boeing company, offers the ScanEagle, which has a 10-foot wingspan and
weighs 35 pounds. The company also builds the Integrator, an 80-pound aircraft with a 16-foot
wingspan. Insitu drones do not take off from runways, as an airplane would; rather they are
VTOL as they take off and are recovered from the company's SkyHook launchers. Sensors
available include electro-optic imagers, mid-wave infrared imagers, infrared markers and laser
rangefinders. In 2018, Boeing announced it had prototyped an unmanned electric VTOL cargo
air vehicle (CAV) capable of transporting up to a 500-pound payload.

Tethered drones are another option, though with the obvious limitation that they are
physically tethered to a base station. Certain tethered drones can solve the challenge many
drones face when it comes to power supply if the tether provides a direct power supply. The
Safe-T tethering station for drones from Elistair, for example, offers 2.5 kW power and can fly
to heights of more than 200 feet, with data transfer rates of up to 200 Mb/s.

2.4 REGULATIONS
2.4.1 MALAYSIA DRONE REGULATION

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) 2018, flying a drone
is legal in Malaysia, but we recommend being aware of and compliant with the drone
regulations listed below before doing so.

2.4.2 General Rules for Flying a Drone in Malaysia

According to MCAR 2016 (Section 140-144) interpretation of the laws, here are the
most important rules to know for flying a drone in Malaysia:

a. Drones may not be flown in Class A, B, C or G airspace; within an aerodrome traffic

zone; or more than 400 feet above the ground.
b. Drone pilots must maintain a direct visual line of sight with their drones during
operations.
c. Permission from the Director General must be obtained for commercial drone
operations (find his contact information here).
d. Drones weighing more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds) may not be flown without
permission from the Director General (find his contact information here).

2.4.3 UNITED STATE DRONE REGULATION

Under U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations published in 1981,

which said non-commercial flights below 400 feet were permitted only if operators followed
Advisory Circular 91-57, Model Aircraft Operating Standards.

In 2005, the FAA issued its first guidelines on UAVs and later issued its first
commercial drone permit in 2006. A drone operation policy was then published in 2007. Later,
the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 was released, which included Section 333,
under which the U.S. Secretary of Transportation could approve commercial drone use on a
case-by-case basis.

8
 By 2014, only two companies in the U.S. were allowed to operate commercial drones.
In 2015, an interim FAA policy governing the use of small drones for certain commercial uses
under 200 feet was released, and the FAA announced it had approved more than 1,000
applications for commercial drones and continues to approve at a rate of approximately 50
applications per week. The next year, the FAA further relaxed its restrictions, and under its
Small Unmanned Aircraft Regulation, Part 107, issued 3,100 drone permits in 2016 alone.

2.4.4 General Rules for Flying a Drone in United State

According to FAA Part 107 (2018) places limits on autonomous or semi-autonomous

drone operation. Among other things, it mandates:

a. Unmanned aircraft must remain within visual line-of-sight of the remote pilot in
command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS, or,
alternately within VLOS of the visual observer;
b. Drones must at all times remain close enough to the remote pilot in command and the
person manipulating the flight controls for those people to be capable of seeing the
aircraft unaided by any device other than corrective lenses;
c. UAVs may not operate over anyone not directly participating in the operation, under a
covered structure or inside a covered stationary vehicle;
d. Daylight-only operations, or civil twilight (30 minutes before official sunrise to 30
minutes after official sunset, local time) with appropriate anti-collision lighting;
e. Must yield right of way to other aircraft.

2.5 ADVANTAGES OF CIVILIAN DRONES

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without

a human pilot onboard. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS); which
include a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two.
The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control
by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers. Based on this data, there 5
advantages of using drones which are:

1. Promote safer environment

2. Affordable
3. Potential for future development
4. Fun to use
5. Create more jobs

Safer environment is very important to ensure comfortability of social community.

Ayres (2018) stated that drones can be used for a variety of tasks which help to promote a safer
environment. Cameras equipped to drones can evaluate traffic patterns to help drivers avoid
high-risk areas. They can be used to enter dangerous situations or inspect suspicious items
without creating a threat to the operator. With their remote monitoring capabilities, a drone can
monitor situations, report potential dangers, and warn people of unsafe conditions. Then,
Micelli (2017) stated that civilian drone can saves lives. The most obvious advantage of civilian
drones is that they greatly reduce putting drones operator in harm's way or in during operation.
This is because a lot of these drones are unmanned and therefore there is not human life in
danger. Then, Larson (2019) stated civilian drones can act as lifesaver. Drones have come a
long way in saving the lives of military personnel, as they are unmanned and even if they are
hunted down, no lives are lost.

Based on this finding, it is understood that using of drones can promote safer
environment for everyone. This is because, drones will be equipped as well with high quality
camera. So this feature of camera can evaluate traffic patterns to help drivers to avoid high-risk
areas. This feature of camera can also report potential of dangers. Then this feature of camera
can also warns people of unsafe condition. Then, I also believe that using of civilian drones
can save so many lives. This is because we can help people which are in danger situation. Next,

10
drones also can save lives of military personnel. This is because drones are unmanned and let
say if the civilian drones are haunted down, no lives are lost.

Drone offers affordable in term of price. Micelli (2017) stated drones are cheap.
Civilian drones are cheaper to obtain as compared to the military drones. This is because they
are made of cheaper materials and have less advanced features. Then, Alex R (2016) stated that
drones are cheap. Contrary to popular assumption, drones are a comparatively cheaper
alternative to traditional delivery methods. The cost-value analysis of Amazon’s Prime Air
suggests that the benefits and potential revenues of drone delivery outweigh the operational
costs of the system. The same applies to the use of drones by law enforcement agencies. Then,
Itch (2018) stated that civilian drones are cheap, efficient and easy to deploy. Unmanned
vehicles save money by cutting out expenses for manpower and fuel. Because drones can
provide an accurate view of a hard-to-reach area, it is a great tool for surveillance and search
and rescue operations without allotting too much cost. It is also a cheaper and more convenient
alternative to helicopters because it is easier to fly despite having the capacity to do the same
job.

Based on this finding, it can concludes that civilian drones are affordable. This is
because civilian drones are much cheaper compare to military drones which are really
expensive. Civilian drones really cheap because they are made off cheaper materials such as
plastics and metals. The civilian drones also use traditional delivery methods. The cost of
delivery on Amazon of drone is outweigh the operational costs of the system. Then, drones
also save money by cutting out expenses for manpower and fuel because it just needs to use
the power from battery only. Drones also more convenient alternative to helicopters because it
is easier to fly despite having the capacity to do the same job.

Drones are technology with a strong potential for future development. Unmanned aerial
systems could be used in a variety of situations that are only just starting to be explored. Altawy
et al. (2016) agreed that we could use drones for search and rescue missions. They could be
used for oil and gas exploration and development. Drones could be used to map archaeological
sites, offer telecommunication benefits, distribute internet access, forecast the weather, and
provide agriculture monitoring. Then, Young (2017) stated that civilian drones can streamline
agriculture management which is drones have been used by experts in the agricultural sector
for purposes of monitoring crop growth and management in vast land areas. Then, Intyre (2016)
stated that civilian drones have potential for development which is unmanned systems have the

11
capability to transform many sectors of the economy with commercial deployment. Weather
forecasting, maritime monitoring, search and rescue operations, oil and gas exploration,
agriculture, telecommunication, and other human endeavours stand to gain a lot with the
incorporation of UAS. France, Australia, and Germany are a few countries that have given
permits for commercial drones as they see the possible benefits.

Based on this finding, it is understood that drones have really good potential for future
development. This is because we could use drones for search and rescue missions. The drones
can be equipped with good features such as map archaeological sites, offer telecommunication
benefits, distribute internet access, forecast the weather, and provide agriculture monitoring.
Then, it can also be used in the agricultural sector for purposes of monitoring crop growth and
management in vast land areas. Then, civilian drones also have capability in commercial
deployment. This is because, civilian drones can be equipped with good features such as
weather forecasting, maritime monitoring, search and rescue operations, oil and gas
exploration, agriculture, telecommunication.

Drones are fun to use. Micelli (2017) stated that civilian drones are technology that is
fun to use. Although it can be difficult to learn how to fly drones at first, piloting one can be a
lot of fun once you begin to get the hang of it. Drone piloting has gone beyond recreational use
today as well. Some of the best drone pilots compete at the professional level, through
organizations like the Drone Racing League, which offers a new career option for enthusiasts
to pursue. Then, Pandya (2018) stated that civilian drones are fun to use. Once you got the hang
of it, piloting drones is obviously an enjoyable experience. Might as well level-up your fun
time as a drone pilot through air-racing. Then, Intyre (2016) stated that boosts your credibility
but for the struggles Alastair mentioned above, she still says it’s worth in particularly using her
knowledge to gain credibility with other people, especially law enforcement. Intyre was flying
her drone on a beach in Boca Raton, Florida last weekend when a lifeguard approached her.
“Before he could tell me I could not fly there, I flashed my FAA card and told him I had
permission to fly from the Boca ATC (air traffic control) and his local ordinances were
invalidated July 1 by the new Florida state law that says only the State can regulate drone use,”
she said. “After he stuttered an apology, he said, ‘sorry, there are a lot of jerks that come down
here to fly’ I told him I appreciated his oversight of unlicensed pilots.”

Based on this finding, it is understood that drones are fun to use. This is because it can
be difficult to learn how to fly drones at first, piloting one can be a lot of fun once you begin

12
to get the hang of it. It is obviously an enjoyable experience once we can master to operate the
drones. Then drones are worth to learn in particularly for using the knowledge to gain
credibility with other people.

Drones also give a possibility by create more jobs. Fetty (2016) stated that civilian
drones are a technology which creates jobs. There are numerous direct and indirect
employment opportunities available because of drone technologies. The drone industry
employs software developers, engineers, part manufacturers, pilots, and design specialists.
These jobs may not be available if drone technologies were not permitted. There are also
indirect retail positions supported by the sale of drones to consumers. Even if some drones are
able to fully replace an employee, there are still high-skill employment positions offered by
this industry to offset those losses. Then Jason (2016) stated that The FAA's young drone pilot
license program is also creating sub-industries that create jobs. For example, the University of
South Dakota just added drone operations to its academic curricula. Instructor Byron Noel
shared recently with the Brookings Register, "It's useful in any field where an aerial perspective
is useful”. The drone industry is a great place to find a job. 30 Under 30 honouree and the
founder of that start up I invested in last year. His offices in Los Angeles and Brooklyn are
hiring drone operators, production, and sales talent. They believes there are lots more changes
to come in how users interact with drones. "A lot of people underestimate the complexities of
actually pulling off a drone operation because of the 'unfun' stuff--charging batteries,
performing flight maintenance, checking airspace. Automation only gets us so far. There is still
manual work to do”. Then, French (2017) stated that “In recent years, unmanned aircraft
technology has grown remarkably and is already proving useful in a range of domestic
applications. Integrating UAS into the national airspace will lead to new and expanded uses,
which means the creation of quality, high-paying American jobs.”

Based on this finding, it is understood that drones have possibility can create more
jobs. To produce drones, it needs to employ software developers, engineers, part
manufacturers, pilots, and design specialists. Then, drones can create more jobs because young
drone pilot license program is also creating sub-industries that create jobs. So this also can
expand drones industry. Then, drone manufacturers also need to hire drone operators,
production, and sales talent. And it will also lead to new and expanded uses, which means the
creation of quality, high-paying jobs in drone industry.

2.6 DISADVANTAGES OF DRONE

In this world, all technology on the earth that creates by human have it advantages and
disadvantages. Different people have different perspective and review towards the drone usage
in our community. They are five different theme of disadvantages that have been collected
from the data:

1. Easily abused
2. Prone to accident
3. Limited Usage
4. Price
5. Strict Regulation

Drone are easily abused people around the residential area. Ayres (2018) stated that
drones are often used for law enforcement purposes. There are military uses for drone
technologies as well. People can easily use drones to advance their own purposes at the expense
of others. Not only can drones be used to track criminals or provide safety monitoring, they
can be used for privacy invasion or to target specific population groups. With terrorism a
consistent threat in today’s world, many personal liberties could be violated in the name of
providing personal security with a drone. Then, Altawy et al. (2016) said that drones is
violating personal privacy and the difficulty of capturing the intruding ones. UAVs possess a
unique range of agile access techniques which distinguish them from other privacy infiltrating
devices. In fact, currently, drones with high precision cameras can be remotely controlled to
perform surveillance tasks with better accuracy and manoeuvrability than mounting static
cameras. After that, Miceli (2017) said that drone are disturbing people privacy since it been
controlled by the individual and no restriction law enforcement are being taken towards them
as they fly it illegally.

Based on this finding, it is understood that drones are easily abused people around us.
This is because drone can disturb people privacy as the camera attached with the drone body.
So people perception towards drone is it will snap or capture what they do at the backyard, in
house or anywhere around the residential area. After that, drone also give noise emission
toward the community because it produces noisy sound as it take off. It also contributes that
drone easily abused people.

14
 Drone are prone to an accident. Fetty (2016) said that the drones need to be programmed
with “sense and avoid” capabilities and able to detect a potential collision and manoeuvre to
safety that match those of manned aircraft pilots. In the event of system failures, ground impact
is another serious danger, especially when drones are used near large crowds. Next, Young
(2017) said that even with the most skilled pilot, drones can crash and cause a lot of damage to
the surrounding area and cause a disturbance to other aircraft in the sky. Then, Alex R (2016)
said that a flying machine crashed on the White House lawn, and some were seen flying over
Paris, fuelling public rage as they were untraceable. The public is yet to be fully convinced as
they see unmanned systems as robots that would cause more harm than good.

Based on this finding, it is understood that drone are prone to accident. This is because
every system that create by human have it limitation. As for information, drone are easily to
broken due to accident or over limit it limitation. People will be scared to get outside when the
drone fly at the sky since it can crash and fall down to the people. So people safety awareness
are threatened and they scared to make outdoor activity.

Drone has a limited usage since all that system that creates by human have its limitation.
Larson (2019) said that everything has its own share of disadvantages and drones are also no
exception. They help in surveillance true but they cannot establish communication with the
people for far reached intelligence. Abandoned war equipment’s cannot be captured by drones.
Next, Pandya (2018) said that the size of the drones are massive and are very difficult to control.
It is very tough to maintain same height while spraying the field there by resulting uneven
showering. Especially in windy weather conditions the handling of drones is very difficult. So
more power of usage battery are required to maintain it stability. Then, French (2017) said that
drone cannot fly during night time since it have limitation to secure the fly range of the drone
during night time and make the drone missing if it loss the power consumption.

Based on this finding, it is understood that drone have limited usage in term of power
consumption and limitation of the system. The reason is because drone are fly high at the sky
and need to maintain it stability and need to defence against wind. During this time, drone will
use a lot of power consumption to give a better performance. Usually, drone can fly around 15
minutes and below based on the situation that need to face when control it since it difficult to
maintain it stability. So this contribute to the disadvantages of drone usage because of low
power consumption.

15
 Drone give high cost in term of price and maintenance. Miceli (2017) said that some
civilian drones are more costly although they do not come with highly advance features. .After
that, Miceli (2017) said that drone technology has not come without a cost. It is increasingly
becoming expensive for the military to invest and research on drones since this is the next
frontier in terms of modern warfare. Countries that lack significant military spending may not
utilize fully the power of drone warfare and this leaves them more vulnerable when it comes
to drone warfare. Next, Francis (2017) said that drone are highly maintenance cost to maintain
the performance of the drone.

Based on this finding, it is understood that drone are very pricey and high cost in term
of price and maintenance. This is because mostly all the high end drone are more than RM70,
000 and it too much expensive to invest money for it. It also gives high cost maintenance to be
maintained its performance since it been used after long time and needs to be serviced as it
reach the time hours for servicing. This point totally show that drones have it disadvantages
against the advantages.

By owning drones, strict regulation are the factor of the disadvantages of the drone
usage. Jason (2016) said that legislation of drones exists. There is a debate on whether drones
should be treated the same way as fixed surveillance cameras or not. While there are a few
similarities, the differences are many. To start with, drones are just like robots that are always
collecting data. The longer they loiter over a property, the more information they draw in. Then,
Itch (2018) said that the Federal Aviation Administration has set rules associated with the
professional and private use of remote-controlled aircraft, but there are still some gray areas
that remain unsettled. The government has provided general guidelines on where and how to
fly legally, but additional restrictions may apply and may vary from place to place. Next, Intyre
(2016) said that the rule and regulation of the usage of the drone need to be implemented to
ensure the community privacy are secured by the law. However, action can be taken towards
the droners that break the rule.

Based on this finding, it is understood that the rule and regulation of using drone are
being restricted it usage. This is because as the rules and regulations are being implemented, it
make people or the user feel difficult to fly their personal drone since the law have been enforce.
They need to register their drone to apply the license to fly the drone and they not easily fly the
drone at the highly authority place such as government building, security area, residential area
and others.

 CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This section discusses the methodology of the research. The main purpose of the
research is to investigate either drone more advantages or disadvantages from the opinion
of drone users. To asses and evaluate either drone is relevant or not among our civil society.
Data for the research were collected through questionnaire.

3.2 RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS

This research utilised the quantitative research methodology. The instrument used to
collect the data was questionnaire. A set of questionnaires containing 20 questions divided
into four section was developed based on a questionnaire used previously by another study
(Gerber & Green, 1999). Different question-types, such as ranking, yes-no, listing, scales
and open-ended were used in the questionnaire. The different sections of the questionnaire
were: i) Demographic information ii) Advantages ii) Disadvantages and recommendation.
The questionnaire was piloted to a group of seven students as a sample survey to assess its
validity before it was distributed.

3.3 RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The respondents of the study were civilian who has experience as a drone user at Klang
Valley area. In 22 until 28 March 2019, a total of 20 questionnaire were distributed to
civilian people at different area of Klang Valley. A total of 20 peoples returned the
questionnaires. Of this numbers, 14 were male users while the rest 6 users were female.

17
3.4 RESEARCH PROCEDURE

During the actual study, the questionnaire were distributed at various locations around
Klang Valley, such as hypermarkets, airports LRT stations and bus stations. Respondent
were approached with an initial question of whether they have an experience with civilian
drone or not before the questionnaire was given to them. After that, they given free time to
complete the questionnaire. Majority of them complete the questionnaire around 10
minutes.

3.5 DATA ANALYSIS

To analyse the data, a total of ten variable were taken into consideration namely safer
environment, affordable, future development, fun to use, create more jobs, easily abused,
limited access, prone to accident, limited usage and strict regulation. Data were entered into
the computer using Excel Software. Results were presented through frequency counts. The
data were transcribed.

4.2.4 THE RECOMMENDATION

For the last part in the survey, the respondent were needed to answer either yes or no to
the question of “Do you think that the law on civilian drones should be restricted” and give
their recommendation. Based on the Figure 4, five (25%) respondents stated that the law should
be restricted because of for future development. Secondly, three (15%) respondents think that
that the law should be restricted because to avoid violation. Then, three (15%) respondents
think that that the law should be restricted because for safety purpose. Last but not least, there
are nine (145%) respondents who agreed that the law should be restricted with no comment.

4.3 DISCUSSION
4.3.1 ADVANTAGES OF USING CIVILIAN DRONES

Based on Figure 1, (11) 55% of the respondents stated that future development was the
main advantages of using civilian drones. This maybe due to the new technology has been
exposed to public of Malaysian society. This finding is similar to the finding of Rao et al (2011)
where civilian drones is a technology with a strong potential for future development.

Next, 40% of the respondents stated that civilian drones were fun to use. This probably
because it was easy to operate. This finding is similar to the finding of Hwayeon Kong et al
(2017) where stated that many people like to use the civilian drones as their hobby.

Then, (6) 30% of the respondents stated that civilian drones are affordable. This is
because there were many manufacturers produce the civilian drones and sell it in Malaysia
market. This finding is similar to the finding of Frank Biocca et al (2017) where stated that
drones market expands widely in this era.

4.3.2 DISADVANTAGES OF USING CIVILIAN DRONES

Based on Figure 2, 10 (50%) respondents agreed that using drones can prone to accident
was the main disadvantages of using civilian drones. This maybe due to lack of drone operator
experience to control the drone. This finding is similar to the finding of Bharat Rao et al (2011)
where there were several incidents occurred since the drones have been introduced to the public
usage.

Secondly, 10 (50%) respondents agreed on that using of drones can easily abused. This
might be because of the law abiding not stricted. This finding is similar to the finding of
Taeyang Lee et al (2017) where enforcement of drones abused should be restricted.

Lastly, nine (45%) respondents agreed that using of drones is attach with strict
regulation. This probably because of lot of cases disturb people privacy. This finding is similar
to the finding of Riham Altawy (2016) where there were lot of reports from people stated that
drones were flying in their home area.

24
4.3.3RECOMMENDATION

Based on the Figure 4, five (25%) respondents stated that the law should be restricted
because of for future development. Secondly, there are nine (45%) respondents who agreed
that the law should be restricted with no comment. This might be because of Malaysian society
worry about their safety and privacy. This finding is similar to the finding of Kihyuk Park
(2017) where public more concern about their community safety.

4.4 CONCLUSION

This research investigated the advantages and disadvantages of Civilian Drone for
society in Malaysia. Primary data were collected randomly distributing questionnaires to 20
people. As mention earlier in the introduction, the purpose of this study was to identify the
advantages and a disadvantages use of Civilian Drone in Malaysia and to recommend the best
solutions to overcome problems involving usage among the Civilian Drone users and Malaysia
society. The following conclusion can be drawn from the study.

In conclusion, this study has shown the advantages of the drone from the perspective
of drone users which has an experience and basic knowledge about use of drone. With regards
to disadvantages, the respondents also choose their opinion about the disadvantages of use of
drone. In the last section of questionnaire respondents ask to choose either they agree or not if
the law was restricted for drone users. Majority of them agreed and give opinion. Majority
respondents agreed that drone give more advantages and its usage should be expand with
restricted law to control it. Drone can be a technology that give more advantages for society.
The technology may be expand widely in the future.

 CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION

5.1 CONCLUSION

This research investigated the advantages and disadvantages of using civilian drones.
Primary data were collected by randomly distributing questionnaires to 20 civilians. As
mentioned earlier in the introduction, the purpose of this research was to investigate civilians
about advantages and disadvantages of using civilian drone.

It is obvious that drone technology is an important part of the future of warfare and is
set to become a big commercial industry. The fact that drone capabilities pose a threat to the
liberties of people around the globe is also apparent. Legislating on drones now is of paramount
importance because it sets the necessary limitations to protect rights as drones are used in the
future.

The following conclusion can be drawn based on the findings of the research:

1. This study has shown that the advantages of using drone are mostly for future development,
recreation and they are affordable to own.

2. However, the disadvantages of using drones are mostly prone to accident, easily abused and
it also strict regulation.

3. The Malaysian law on drones should be restricted because of for future development, to
avoid violation and for safety purpose.

Limitations must be put in place as to where the line between effective drone use and
excessive drone use is. Drones have the potential to become a vital part of society, but they
also come with a lot of disadvantages. For every person who seeks to help the Malaysian with
drones, there is a person who seeks to hurt it. Acknowledging that drone technology is not
flawless is the integral idea, and as such Malaysian must demand constraints under which
drones are used.

This will be difficult due to the novelty of drone technology. Because the technology is
so cutting-edge, it is hard for lawmakers to know where to curb its use. To overcome this
confusion everyone must be more educated on the use and potential of drones. There is a need

26
for transparency on drone, so that citizens may be better informed on the consequences of the
technology..

The result of the research indicate of that advantage and disadvantage are most
important part about the drone that play main role in drone usage. Moreover, the civilians are
mostly worried about the safety of society and environment. The research just conducted in
Klang Valley but it should conducted in whole Malaysia to see the similarities of choice and
decision about the drone. Deciding where drones fit in is no easy task, but the time to regulate
their use is fast approaching as the industry grows and develops.

5.2 RECOMMENDATION

Based on the research and conclusions of the advantages and disadvantages of civilian
drone, the several recommendations to be considered:

1. Drone can expand in extreme sport for future development, in entertainment and more
research should be conducted to produce affordable drones.

2. Researchers need to create more sensitive sensor to avoid from accident, improve sensitivity
sensor to give warning to droners from abusing people and law enforcement agency should get
information and opinion from other countries law related to drone and formulate with our new
regulation.

3. CAAM should revise regulation of drones from other countries to improvise for future
development to reduce violation issues and for the safety of the drones towards community.

27
5.3 FUTURE RESEARCH

Since the research had only focused in advantages and disadvantages in civilians. It is
recommended that further research be undertaken in the following area as the disadvantage of
drone that play main role in safeness of environment and society. Furthermore, the future
research in drone must be conduct as soon as possible because there is a lot of advantage by
using drone and they also should be explored more positive advantages about the drone to make
it universal use. Lastly, it recommended to expand the scope for future research by interview
an expert drone operator and law enforcement agency.
