Ok, in response to @milkmanchris’s request, these two diagrams are my attempt to clarify the difference between where you can legally fly today with your drone (assuming no PfCO), and where you will be able to fly from next year using the same drone i.e. ignoring new C-marked drones as none are available to buy yet anyway. The diagrams should be read along with my previous post.
Again, I’m not certain I’ve interpreted the various rules correctly, so comments are welcome. The second diagram is based on the CAA’s CAP1789 June 2020, which itself “interprets” the actual EASA regulations, particularly with regard to a suggested 50m clearance to uninvolved people in the A3 category. I’ve left out some requirements e.g. not overflying crowds as that’s a fairly rare scenario. And hopefully VLOS goes without saying.
