Review of UK UAS Regulations

Overview

The CAA have launched a consultation on proposals to make it easier for drone users to fly safely and meet regulatory requirements.

The proposals are based on feedback from the drone community in a previous Call for Input. Proposals include introduction of product requirements for drones, extension of Flyer ID training to users of drones under 250g, introduction of Remote ID and extension of time period to adopt class-marked drones by 2 years.

We recommend reading the Consultation document before responding. 

What happens next

We expect to publish our response to the consultation next year, setting out our final position.  We will then submit our formal opinion to the Department for Transport, who will consider our recommendations in full before deciding whether to progress with legislative change.
