Guys
A few years ago I was a member of a model aero club, flying fixed wings. Not really having enough time to dedicate to the sport, and having no where to fly other than my local air field, i eventually gave it up.
However, for a number of years ive been threatening to purchase a drone.
I have a very cheap toy drone (200g ish), and i'm seriously considering to purchase a mavic pro.
I've a few questions around the new regs.
I've undertaken the CAA theory and can obtain an operator and fliyer ID, but i'm more concerned with the new open categories.
I think I'd be happy with A3 and not having to undergo any formal qualification, as i don't think i'd want to fly it anywhere congested.
Maybe once or twice over my house I guess (shhh)
Anyhow, I've a question surrounding the A2 category.
On one of the UK police web sites, I've been reading and trying to digest the rules.
It states:
drones 500g - 2kg can be flown in open A3 --great, but goes on to say that they can also be flown in A1 and A2 until December 2022.
What's happening in December 2022, what If I spend all this money on a Mavic Pro, undergo the A2 then find myself stuck in 2022.
Any thoughts ?
