Sorry for the long winded question, but if anyone with commercial drone experience could assist it would be appreciated. Firstly, to clarify, I am not interested in commercial flying. As part of my job as an engineering consultant I have access to clients across the country with interesting sites…

So … the CAA reply, in full is as follows: Based on the information provided the CAA would not deem your operation as commercial, as I do not believe your type of operation falls under the definition below: ‘any flight by a small unmanned aircraft except a flight for public transport, or any oper…

Hi Richard. Unfortunately I can’t comment on the current regulations pertaining to what you currently have in mind, but for future reference it might be in your favour to keep an eye on the future EASA proposals as we get closer to June 2020. One thing I’m led to believe is that there maybe a sub …

I suppose those proposals will be decided by the Brexit process if It ever happens!

[image] anon86362453: In exchange they would want access to videos and pictures I would take to use for commercial purposes I’d say this would be counted as needing PFCO imho. If you are making a flight that you know the resulting footage shot is going to be used for commercial purposes then…

Thanks for the response. I assume I could circumvent this legally by ensuring that discussions regarding what their intentions of the footage use will be are not had with me. I would provide them a copy for “Audit” purposes to get approval before I publish to YT. They can then keep the audit copy pl…

Oh, also my insurer has logged an official detailed request for this specific info from the CAA (very nice of them) so will hopefully get a direct response at some point but will likely take ages. I will share on this thread if they ever get back to them.

Similar to my thoughts Richard but then I am a well-known wide boy with scant regard for the intent of the law. With the wrong police officer or prosecutor taking exception to your operation it could prove costly and embarrassing. Developments in June next year may sort this anomaly out - although I…

I have been down a very similar query road and got so many conflicting responses including angry PfCO holders (nobody on here I might add - this was FB) that in the end I contacted the CAA. Within a day of me filling out their contact us form I had my reply. The short answer was, YES, I could. The…

Hi @stubbyd I think that’s good news at least you asked the question and got a positive response, I certainly don’t have a problem at all, It shows you are a responsible Drone user and that good enough for me

As it happens, I was such a n00b drone user at the time that I declined the offer from my mate - for a number of reasons. But I was intrigued enough to ask the question** if only to shutup some of the arsey complaints on FB. I may however, re-offer to him, just to try and get a swooping shot down a…

Spot on! and gives valuable information to other Grey Arrows, that’s what its all about, Fook Facebook its full of fruit cakes
