A CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) drone operator refers to an individual or a company that operates drones for commercial purposes in the UK. These operators need to comply with regulations set by the CAA to ensure safe and legal drone operations.
CAA drone operators must obtain Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO) or comply with the new regulations under the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service. PfCO requires operators to pass a theory test, have appropriate insurance, and adhere to specific operational guidelines.
CAA drone operators are responsible for ensuring the safety of their drone flights, conducting risk assessments, maintaining aircraft airworthiness, and keeping records of all operations. They must also follow the CAA's Drone Code and respect the privacy of others.
