Latest from the DfT\/CAA – from Paul Morris, Club BMFA Representative<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe CAA have just published the following update: https:\/\/www.caa.co.uk\/Consumers\/Unmanned-aircraft\/Our-role\/Drone-and-model-aircraft-registration\/ which is provided in full below:
\nThe UK\u2019s new Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Scheme will go live on 5 November 2019 (please note that you cannot register before this date).
\nThere will be two elements to the online system:-
\n1\/ Anyone responsible for a drone or unmanned aircraft (including model aircraft) weighing between 250g and 20kg will need to register as an operator. The cost for this will be \u00a39 renewable annually.<\/span>
\n2\/ Anyone flying a drone or unmanned aircraft (including model aircraft) weighing between 250g and 20kg will need to take and pass an online education package. This is free and renewable every three years.<\/span>
\nBoth of these requirements become law on 30 November 2019.
\nFrom 5 November 2019 the system will be available at Register-drones.caa.co.uk
\nFor holders of current CAA permissions or exemptions for drone operations (e.g. such as the permission related to commercial operations as required in ANO article 94(5)) and model flyers holding an achievement certificate issued by a UK model aircraft association with a CAA reviewed achievement scheme:
\nRemote pilots flying in accordance with a permission, exemption or operational authorisation (e.g. such as the permission related to commercial operations as required in ANO article 94(5)) that has been issued to a named UAS operator by the CAA will be exempt from having to undertake the online education training and test.
\nSimilarly, where a UK model aircraft association already has an established and CAA reviewed \u2018competency scheme\u2019, members who hold an appropriate achievement certificate or award (such as the BMFA \u2018A\u2019 certificate) will also be exempt from having to undertake the online education training and test.
\nAny operators who are not covered under the conditions of a permission\/exemption or do not hold a recognised association competency will need to complete the free online course.
\nTo allow operators to demonstrate competence if challenged (for example by the police) the CAA will be issuing a formal exemption that can be used alongside existing permissions \/ achievements and any other relevant documents. This exemption will be in place until 30 June 2020, when new regulations are expected. We will be working with stakeholders in 2020 to put these into place.
\nFor members of ARPAS-UK, British Model Flying Association (BMFA), Scottish Aeromodellers\u2019 Association (SAA), Large Model Association (LMA) and FPV UK
\nMembers will not need to register as an operator with the CAA system if they are a current member of these associations.<\/span> With permission [of individual members], the associations will collect the registration fee from members directly and supply their data to the CAA. This will take place initially by 31 January 2020 and an exemption from the need to register will be put in place by 30 November to cover association members until then.
\nThe associations will issue further detailed guidance to their members in due course. Please see www.arpas.co.uk,www.bmfa.org, www.fpvuk.org, www.largemodelassociation.com or www.saaweb.uk for further details.
\nControl line model aircraft flying
\nThe CAA will be issuing an exemption meaning those flying control line model aircraft will not need to comply with the registration or education regulations.
\nAs can be seen if you hold an achievement scheme certificate you are exempt from any testing but will still have to register at a price of \u00a39-00.<\/span><\/p>\n
