South America

UAS policy in South America is quite diverse.  Though in the extreme case of Venezuela there are outright prohibitions, most other countries are unregulated, generally open or with sensible restrictions on the operation of unmanned aerial systems.

There do remain several countries whose regulatory status with regard to UAS is unclear and whose outlook on the development of such policies remains to be seen.
