I feel flattered. I am one of the 706 OA holders who has just been audited by CAA, in a process involving having to re-submit the same information when the first submission was questioned by the auditor.
My organisation is one of the 706 and we were audited too,both desktop and in person at one of our operations. Surprisingly it was very straight forward and relatively painless.
I used to fully support the CAA having only has positive experiences with my crewed stuff. But year after year their innovation and regulations have become tied up in red tape and nonsense. I am glad you mentioned the vanity projects, Future Flight needs shutting down. Let the future sort itself out, Now Flight matters.
Spent £1250 on the DJI FPV when it came out, have performed 18 flights with it. The CAA killed the hobby for me - one I had been involved in before the CAA knew what it was.
The last time a flew was when the Mini 2 came out, I did think about getting a drone again but the constant rule changes and tighter regulations I don't think it's worth the investment
Same boat. I renew the operator ID every year, but feel it's too much hassle to actually fly my drone these days. Absolutely sucked any enjoyment out of it when your constantly on edge for fear of breaking a rule, being reported or hassled. I'd love one of the newer drones, but I'm not going to spend more money on a hobby that's being demonised.
Every time I think of taking my drone on holiday I check the airspace and find so much National Trust, English Heritage, Forestry Commission or SSSI land that it's not worth packing it. I've videoed all the scenic stuff where I live, so I've gone from rising at 5 a.m. twice a week to get good footage to flying maybe once a month. It is utterly dispiriting that the only people having fun with drones now are the "auditors" and Ukrainians.
I agree. Between the CAA rules and local by-laws, there are very few places that one can legally fly. Your choice is over the sea, or if you own some land in the country over that. My last flight was in 2019. Loved it, but the new rule changes at that time meant that there were literally no legal places I could fly a Mavic Air in the Uk. I tended to find that where the CAA let me fly, the local by-laws prevented it.
At 22:28 about document revisions - in your OA application you need to ensure that your Ops Manual document revision history properly & correctly records all revisions - which is standard good practice. If you don't, you can get into re-review loops before your OM is approved. The CAA's ex-RAF top brass would not have been happy with aircraft safety related documents (safety cases, release-to-service, aircrew manuals, quick reference cards, operating data manuals, etc.) that don't have complete & correct revision histories.
The reality is the CAA has become overbearing. The reality is a simple drone code for hobby users is ALL that is needed and sub 500g should be exempt of regulation for hobbyists. Simple competancy exams for sub 20kg and of course full UAS exams for commercial. The simple fact is the CAA are a bloated boys club with a hatred for drones with a wish to sell off the 400ft airspace to the highest bidder is clear!
I would argue that you shouldn’t need full exams for commercial either. It should depend on what you want to do. If it is just commercial photography, flying similarly to how an amateur hobbyist photographer could then maybe at most an online course like the A2 CofC. Most commercial drone work is just using it as a flying camera. If it is large agricultural or delivery drones or flying outside of what a hobbyist would do then yeah they should need extra qualifications. For inspection type jobs though it should be up to the employer, if a power company wants to hire a drone pilot to inspect power lines then it should be up to the power company which qualifications they require outside of base CAA ones since it is their power lines.
What have we learnt from this.. The CAA do not proof read. (hopefully well have an updated document) Do not report any incidents as its used against the industry.. The system is flawed...
The best option would be to only report when you absolutely have to, which for drone pilots would be almost none of the time. The reports may not come from the pilots themselves though, they could come from police or from other people involved.
The irony is they'll pick up any small discrepancies in the amendments table in my OM and send it back for change and resubmission, but they can't do it with their own documents. Utterly bizarre and unprofessional. But I keep on going with the other 705.
Thing is, 99% of problems within the drone industry come from those who think they are above the "law", fly without PLI, permissions, over crowds etc. And when caught, literally nothing is ever done. This is the bigger issue, no deterrent for those who break the rules, so why do people even bother to follow them if they all get away with it. Its a real shame as i expect those in this comment thread are all sensible etc.
I think the level of enforcement is increasing and we are seeing more cases go through the courts of the worst drone users. The upcoming fixed penalty fines will also bring a more instant and easy way to fine poor behaviour. I predict that will change things.
I think the problem is commercial drone delivery services want recreational flyers out of the skies so they can move in with their unsustainable services. We can obey rules till we are blue in the face, it won't stop what is happening.
It would be good to get clarification on what they class as a serious incident. Even just looking at the numbers, only 5 serious incidents, that is practically none. How many people do you think are likely to get injured by golf balls? Or hit by cyclists or scooters on footpaths?
The CAA have a responsibility to grow drone use? With all of the constant changing of rules it's put me off. I still fly an original Mini (with the expectation that they will at some point tell me I can't for... ...reasons). I would love a more modern drone but I am not going to replace the Mini because the hobby just seems too much hassle. I'm already at the point where I only fly half a dozen times a year.
It is part of their mandate to support the industry side of drones to grow. Which then relates to the stats we analysed in the show in terms of Operational Authorisation holders. Sadly, they seem unable to focus much else than future flight and delivery drones.
@@Geeksvana I wonder if delivery drones are even viable yet. Lots of tech companies talking it up like they did with delivery robots on the ground but I suspect it's more about increasing their share price with hype than actually achieving it.
I have a Specific Category UKPDRA01 Operational Authorisation, but with the Open Category A2 CoC and ability to use 250g aircraft instead, I am not sure I would have gone beyond the A2 CoC to the GVC, paid for the OA and bought a Mavic 3E.
You either enjoy attending courses or actually running a business. I would make the point reporting will almost certainly be the govt agency pilots (police, fire e.t.c.)

can anyone explain what i need for bvlos please , flown all drones in dji rane currently a mini 4 pro but looking at another inspire 3 for bvlos thanks.
I believe at this point there is nothing you can do to legally fly BVLOS. There have been proposals to allow BVLOS in certain situations where it has been planned and approved beforehand like for railway inspections but they are just proposals at this stage. So I may be wrong but just now I don’t think there is any way to fly BVLOS legally. Edit: what do you do where you have been able to fly all DJI’s drones? Do you just mean their consumer ones?
If I could step in here. BVLOS with visual observers (where the RP can't see the drone, but a visual observer located remotely can), is achievable in the Specific Category. You need an Operational risk Assessment in place, approved by the CAA and you will be subject to the higher levels of oversight this brings. Start by gaining a GVC and move on from there. It's not an easy route, but is possible. Forget "true" BVLOS, where nobody involved in the flight can see the UA, particularly with an Inspire.
Haven’t flown my mavic for 2 years now, and a year and a half since I renewed my licence, even when I find somewhere to fly, too many jobsworths come and tell me I can’t fly!
Sean can I fly mini 2 se on holiday in Tenerife got flyer ID and operator license. Read that I need easa license does this apply becouse drones under 249g. Hard to find out what’s true
Hi David! You will need to have EASA versions of the Operator and Flyer ID. The UK ones are not valid. If you watch this video, it will guide you through: ua-cam.com/video/ahz-NdmEzBc/v-deo.htmlsi=WsJrHyEzbJAwZbi- Hope you have a great holiday.
It doesn’t surprise me that the number of OAs has dropped although I’m expecting to see an increase next year now that the PDRA01 system has been somewhat simplified. Our operations aren’t covered by PDRA 01 and the hassle of having to tweak and submit the OSC every year,wait,wait and then wait for some more for it to be reviewed before making the changes asked for in the oversight report (which are often frustratingly nit picky) fills me with dread every year! There have been several occasions where we very,very nearly didn’t get our OSC signed off and our OA back in time to fly big,financially beneficial jobs which our business needs to survive.
As a pilot caught up in that ridiculous drone event at Gatwick. It is clear drone operators have to be licenced and regulated. If it were possible to ensure that drones cannot be operated in specific areas and heights then that would be good, but we all know that somebody will hack them and remove the restrictions and upload that hacked firmware to the Web.
As a pilot caught up in the incident, I would expect you to be well read enough to know that there were never any drones at the Gatwick incident. It has been confirmed beyond any doubt. Zero evidence any drone was involved. It changed a lot of things, including how airports react to reports of incursions and verify them before they close any airspace.

is there any certificate I can get which will allow me to fly a dji air 3 or a mavic 3 pro within a built up residential area, and also closer than 50m to uninvolved people?
Hey! Yes. The A2 CofC will allow you to fly in congested areas with drones weighing a maximum of 2kg. It also allows you to fly in the A1 airspace with sub 500g drones too. Which is a nice extra bonus.
@GhostWriter_Music yes 50m horizontal as is standard for larger drones but the A2 CofC is for legacy drones upto 2kg. Check the training company websites for the full details. The 500g benefit is for the A1 airspace.
If you want to get closer than 50m to uninvolved people in a residential area (i.e. not classed as recreational), and your drone is 500g+ then you are looking at getting a GVC, writing an Operational Risk Assessment, paying the CAA nearly £2k and gaining a reduced clearance OA. Cheaper and easier to fly sub 500g under A2CofC...or just buy a Mini 4 (other sub-250g drones are available).

Isn't this what the CAA really want though? The OA holder being large companies who just employ GVC holders to fly under them.
