Understanding CAA Drone Rules

Introduction: If you're a drone pilot in the UK, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) drone rules to ensure safe and legal flying practices.

Registration and Licensing:

All drone pilots must register their drones and obtain an operator ID. If you are flying a drone that weighs 250g to 20kg, you are also required to take and pass a theory test to get a Flyer ID.

Flight Regulations:

- Drones must not be flown above 400 feet. - Keep your drone within your line of sight at all times. - Do not fly near airports or airfields. - Respect people's privacy and do not fly over crowds or built-up areas without permission.

Drone Categories:

The rules vary depending on the category your drone falls into: - Open Category: Most consumer drones fall into this category, with specific operational limitations. - Specific Category: Includes drones that do not meet the requirements for the Open Category. - Certified Category: For drones used in specific and limited scenarios, like transport or surveillance.
