You can check when an authorisation is required and how to apply for one, in our publication at Operators who hold a permission or exemption first issued before 31 December 2020 should note that, due to technical constraints, the requirement for their remote pilots to obtain a new Flyer ID set out in CAP 722 Annex B section B3.2.7.1 and B3.2.7.2 no longer applies. This is due to the rules on flying in proximity to people and overflight of congested areas rather than because you are making money from flying your drone. In most cases if you currently require a permission or exemption from the CAA for your flying, then its highly likely this will continue to be the case under the new rules. ![]() You can find details of these and other updates at As well as being changed in the UK, the same new rules are also being introduced to EU countries so there will now be very similar rules across most of Europe. Specific– more complex operations, which require an operational authorisation Ĭertified– complex operations, which require the use of a certified UAS, operator, and a licenced remote pilot. Open– ‘basic flying’ which does not require an authorisation from the CAA The new laws set out three categories of flying, and you must always operate within one of these. This is a change from what we have currently where many of the requirements for needing permission are based on whether you are being paid to fly your drone, or if it has a camera fitted to it. The new rules focus on the risk of the flight, based on the weight and type of the drone, and where it is being flown, to decide what you can do and whether you need a CAA authorisation for your flying. The key elements of always keeping your drone in sight, not flying above 120m (400ft) and staying clear of airfield restricted areas (unless you have specific permission to use them) remain unchanged. For many people the basic rules on their day-to-day flying won’t change but there are some important amendments that users need to be aware of. ![]() ![]() On 31 December 2020 the UK moves to a new set of rules for unmanned aircraft. ![]()
