Drone Flight Categories

Under the NEW DRONE REGULATIONS which were introduced in the UK on the 31st December 2020, there are now 3 different categories which drone flying can fall into.

Knowing which category you'll be flying your drone in is really important and depends on the level of risk involved with each flight... Essentially, it's broken down into the weight of your drone and how far you'll be staying away from people who aren't involved in your flying. 

The heavier the drone & the closer you want to get to 'uninvolved' people, the higher the risk... So, the more rigorous your training and qualifications need to be!

If you're flying a small drone far away from people - you might not need any qualifications at all... Want to get closer to people or fly something heavier or more complex? Then you may need a Certificate or an Operational Authorisation from the CAA.

You can find more detail on the categories below but if you have any questions just give the team a shout!
