CAA Innovation Test Sites

Closed 30 Jun 2023

Opened 14 Jun 2023

Overview

The CAA is looking to facilitate the safe development of new RPAS and AAM concepts in the United Kingdom, as part of the Government’s ambition to make Britain a world leader for new forms of aviation. A key enabler of this ambition is the establishment of safe and useful test sites, where market entrants can test and evaluate their products.

To achieve this we need the views of the aviation community, to ensure that sites have the characteristics that enable research aims to be achieved, and for us to learn about the technologies we will need to certify.

The following areas of aviation are in scope for this questionnaire:

  • UAS
  • eVTOL
  • Net Zero flight
  • Ground infrastructure operations
  • UAS detection/deterrent solutions
  • UTM

These areas are out of scope:

  • Routine flight operations
  • Space
