The small unmanned air vehicles, also known as Drones, draw great interest in Turkey. Various types of unmanned air vehicles are used in scientific research, R&D studies, real estate, sports, travels and hobbies. In line with the legal process issued in 2016, the vehicles weighing over 500 grams are required to be notified. These unmanned air vehicles are registered into the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM). Moreover, the persons wishing to fly drones either for commercial purposes or as hobbies are obliged to receive the UAV pilot licenses. The applications can be made via the website of SHGM.

20 TIMES INCREASE
The enthusiasm about the unmanned air vehicles was also reflected in the access to SHGM’s website that contains the UAV Registry System. The monthly access to the website remained around 10-15 thousand last year; it reached a monthly average of 300 thousand in 2020.
Wishing to find answers to their questions like, “What should I do when I buy a drone?”, “Which type of vehicles are obliged to be registered?”, “Does everyone have to acquire a pilot license?”, “Over which areas are the flights forbidden?” rushed into SHGM’s website. Most of the website visitors applied to become a pilot and within six months, 200 thousand new applications were made to this end. Around 300 thousand people are registered in SHGM’s system, and the system includes over 40 thousand UAVs and 65 thousand certified UAV pilots.
COMPULSORY TRAINING COURSES FOR COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS
Persons wishing to become a UAV pilot have to acquire certification from the training courses or training institutes authorized by the SHGM. The list of such centers for ones aiming to become a professional UAV pilot for commercial purposes can be viewed at the ‘Authorized Training Institutions’ over SHGM’s website.

After the big fire in 1970, AKM opened again in 1977. The centre used to seat one thousand and three hundred people; however, it was transformed into a complex after the reconstruction by increasing its capacity and functions. Architect of the new AKM is the son of center’s original architect Hayati Tabanlıoğlu’s son, Murat Tabanlıoğlu.

As part of the AKM project, Culture Street includes an art gallery, movie theatre, restaurant, café, a book café, arts centre for children, a music platform, library, a design shop, and a multifunctional lounge.
Another significant aspect of the AKM project is that the centre gained a 24-hour living area to the neighbourhood with a connection from the Taksim Square to Istanbul Technical University’s Taşkışla Faculty and Atatürk Library. With the new centre, a second square will be formed in congress valley direction, where Atatürk Library and Istanbul Technical University remain.
