PSA: Drone flight restrictions are in force in the UK from today
Summary
The safety restrictions were announced by the government in May, and have been brought in via an amendment the 2016 Air Navigation Order. They’re a stop-gap because the government has also been working on a full drone bill — which was originally slated for Spring but has been delayed. The Civil Aviation Authority has today published research to coincide with the new laws, saying it’s found widespread support among the public for safety regulations for drones. Additional measures the government has confirmed it will legislate for — announced last summer — include a requirement for owners of drones weighing 250 grams or more to register with the CAA, and for drone pilots to take an online safety test. The CAA says these additional requirements will be enforced from November 30, 2019 — with more information on the registration scheme set to follow next year.
