You could make a fortune on these :grin:

Keeps it nice and clean, too. :+1: :wink:

Right Iā€™m a bit confused so I am a PfCO holder however my dad is not but we both fly so does this mean that I can get an operator id and him a flyer id. or what?

49

Just did mine, not exactly taxing was it? I suppose the Ā£9 was acceptable. Away to play with a label maker.

Alex your dad would need a flyer Iā€™d only as you will be the registered operator.
Only one of you need to register as operator.

It depends. If your dad only flies your drones then you are the operator and heā€™d be flying under your Operator ID (but need his own flyer ID). If heā€™s got his own drones, heā€™s got to register as the operator for them. It comes down to who is responsible for the actual drone.

I was a bit surprised I wasnā€™t asked for any serial numbers in the registration process ,

What do you mean?

55

Then yes, youā€™re the operator so itā€™s only you who needs an Operator ID. He still needs a flyer ID though :slight_smile:

56

Agreed, and itā€™s a good place to put it, less chance of it peeling away in flight and sheltered from UV light so less likely to fade - however:

ā€œ* easy to read when the aircraft is on the groundā€

Which tends to limit it to top or, if the aircraft is large enough, the sides. :frowning:

57

Yeah sure thanks for clarifying. So only I pay Ā£9

Is anyone else getting that feeling that weā€™re somehow more legitimate having registered? or is that just me ?

Iā€™m sure registering wonā€™t alter the fact that I was illegitimate ā€¦ :rofl: (not really!!)

I meant that I thought they would ask for the serial numbers of the drones we fly , but they didnā€™t which surprised me

63

Ah OK the reason why they havenā€™t asked you for any serial numbers is because after you have paid your Ā£9 you can fly as many drones as you like / as many as money can buy. All you need to do is put the number on your drone(s)
