Drone and Model Aircraft Code: updated for 2021

Ok, here is an attempt to visually clarify and compare where you can now fly a legacy drone, assuming that your drone meets the requirements for each of these diagrams. To check that, see this previous post first:

The aim in particular is to try and understand some of the merits (or otherwise) of using the UK Model Aircraft Associations Operational Authorisation, if you are a member of one. You can read more about that here:

I haven’t done a diagram for the A1 sub-category as that’s fairly straightforward. And hopefully it goes without saying that all other requirements of the ANO and Drone Code still apply (don’t endanger property, use VLOS etc).

If anyone finds any errors, please let me know!
