Recreational drones
The UK has strict laws regarding recreational drones. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has just opened registration requirements for drone owners. This includes an online theory exam. Before they fly their drones, those with drones less that 250 grams must register them with the CAA. These rules regulate drone flights in specific areas. In the event that you have questions about the laws governing drones, you can always ask the CAA.
Commercial drones
It is possible that the introduction of commercial drones will spark controversy and cause new rules. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, there has been a marked increase in permissions for unmanned aircraft systems. These aircraft are able to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and offer new services. There are however risks. Unmanned aircraft systems can cause injuries and damage to people. Inadvertently misusing them could also disrupt thousands upon flights. To protect the public from such incidents, a new regulatory framework is needed.
The UK has no fly zones
The UK government announced plans for expanding no-fly zones around airports. These zones will be expanded from one kilometer up to five kilometers. Heathrow also purchased anti-drone drone systems after the Gatwick flight disruption. The new rules set by the government will ensure drones do no pose a threat to passengers or airport workers. The UK is leading the charge in regulating drone activity as well as preventing criminal acts. It is a crime to fly drones over 400 feet, or within five miles of an airport in the UK. You could be subject to severe penalties and even life imprisonment if you are convicted.
Legacy drones
It is crucial to be familiar with the rules and regulations for Legacy Drone flying in the UK. These drones can only be flown on open fields and not in residential areas. Like other aircraft, operators must maintain a distance of at least 150 metres from people and buildings. They can still fly unmarked legacy drones up 2kg in A3 Subcategory Of Open Category. This is less restrictive than the previous ones.
Nano-drones
A nano-drone is a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle. These tiny drones, developed by Norwegian firm Prox Dynamics were small and light. These miniature drones can provide situational intelligence over both ground and air. Because they are small, they can cross over any obstacle without difficulty. The United Kingdom government contracted with a company that will develop 160 Nanodrones. The cost of the contract is twenty million sterling pounds.
