Quadcopters UK will have it, no matter what type of drone you're interested in. These are some helpful tips to help you get started.

Recreational drones

The UK has strict laws on recreational drones. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has just opened registration requirements for drone owners. This includes an online theoretical test. Before flying drones less than 250g, owners must register the aircraft with the CAA. These rules are important because they regulate recreational drone flights in certain areas. You can always reach the CAA if you have questions about drone laws.

Commercial drones

The introduction and use of commercial drones is likely sparking debate and creating new rules. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) recently reported a large increase in permissions to use unmanned aircraft systems. These aircraft are able to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and offer new services. However, there are some risks. Unmanned aircraft systems can cause accidents and damage to people, and accidentally misusing them can disrupt thousands of flights. We need a new regulatory framework to prevent such incidents.

The UK has no-fly zones

The UK government announced plans to expand no-fly zones for drones around airports. These areas will grow from one to five kilometers. The recent Gatwick incident forced the airport to ground flights for a day and Heathrow purchased drone anti-drone systems. The government's new rules will help ensure that drones do not pose a risk to passengers or airport workers. The UK is leading the fight against drone crime and regulation. It is a crime to fly drones over 400 feet, or within five miles of an airport in the UK. If convicted, you could face significant fines and even a life sentence.

Legacy drones

It is crucial to be familiar with the rules and regulations for Legacy Drone flying in the UK. These aircraft cannot be flown in residential areas. Like all other aircraft, they must be kept at least 150 meters from people and buildings. However, they are allowed to fly up to 2kg unmarked legacy drones in A3 Subcategory of Open Category, which is a bit less restrictive than its predecessors.


Nano-drones

A nano-drone is a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle. These small drones, which were developed by Norwegian company Prox Dynamics are light and compact. These small drones offer situational awareness above the ground as well as in the air. Because of their small size, they can pass over obstacles without difficulty. The United Kingdom government contracted with a company that will develop 160 Nanodrones. The contract cost twenty million pounds sterling.
