Fpv 7inch drones do i need a new license?

So iv recently swapped my dji mini 4 pro for a full custom fpv 7 inch cinematic quad … My question is aslong as im nowhere near people can i fly this on the standard flyer id licence or have i got to get something different because of the weight ..im going to say its around a kg not including the GoPro

Thank you in advance

All the regulations change on 1st January.

You’ll need both a Flyer ID and an Operator ID, the latter of which must be attached to each drone you fly.

In terms of separation distances, it varies wildly based on the specific weight of the drone you’re flying, suggest you stick it on your kitchen scales with a battery in it to get the exact weight in grams.

Once you have the exact weight, head over to Good 2 Go, type in the weight and it’ll tell you how far away from people you need to be:

Here’s the specific page on the CAA web site to get both your IDs that you’ll need from next week:

Check for any Flight Restriction Zones overhead or last minute NOTAMs (on the Drone Scene map), then you’re good to go :smiley:

@PingSpike thank you i will be taking the other tests next year out of principle… Anyone you would recommend for them

Check out the Silver & Gold Members Only category for details of “UAV Academy” where you can get your A2 CofC training and certification for just £49 quid :smiley:
