Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Scheme (DRES)

If they did that I’d need a registration server all to myself :crazy_face:

Just registered on the CAA website it was easier than I thought it would have been, so theirs another annual payment to keep up.

Yes so annoying isn’t it? I wonder what happens if you forget this one though

I’m trying to keep an open mind about the whole registration business. Hobby flying has held an exemplary record in safety and conduct for nearly 100 years, and for fear of sounding like some mad mountain man, I think this is just another erosion of some of our freedoms under the thinly veiled excuse of “Elf n Safety”.

I’m in the BMFA so at least I have a cool down period to see how it all pans out for the next few months and whether I should explore the extreme rock’n’roll community of RC sail boats.

Regards

Poor, naive young man. You wait till the Marine and Coastguard Agency gets their registration scheme going!

Paul, are you using a tablet or pc?
Which browser are you using?
Tried that link on my iPad and pc works fine on both,

The CAA have confirmed with Hobby Mounts, it can’t go in the Battery compartment.

It’s laughable.

I agree, IT FEELS GREAT. Or is it just me?

I’m a BMFA member as well, so this applies:
“Members will be exempted from registering as Operators on the 30th November and can register instead as part of the BMFA’s membership renewal process (ideally by the end of January 2020).”

A registered what though?? :rofl:

so by the same logic once you pass the theory test for driving that makes you a competent and safe driver :crazy_face::crazy_face::crazy_face::crazy_face:

Exactly

With a qualified driver beside you, and a practical test to follow to drive on your own.

@milkmanchris but not until you’ve done the practical, so my next question is will the CAA then bring this requirement in? it just goes to show that the whole thing is a placation exercise.

I see Drone User Mag is getting in on the lucrative new market. Fair play to them :slight_smile:

I don’t see the PfCO cards on the site any more, but hopefully I didn’t miss that boat - was still plucking up the motivation to go and get my photo took :wink:

Talking of photos… did I just not notice that it’s Boris on the samples, or is that new for the Operator IDs? :rofl:
