New UK drone regs

[BossBob]

Well, My Mavic Pro is sat in the cupboard for 99.9% of the year - and these new rules/allowances are going over my head lol.

In simple terms, is there owt I need to do lol?

I have the Operator / Flyer ID things (somewhere lol)

You’ll need RID in 2 years. It’s A3, so flying far from people in open country only with just flier and operator ID. You need A2CoC for any closer.

...and yet.... in accordance with the 2026 revisions: the original Mavic pro (MTOM: 734 grams) falls into the C1/UK1 weight category. Which means it is a sub-900grm drone and can be flown O/C sub-cat A1 between 2026 and 2028.

This is one of the questions I've requested clarification on. Should be interesting to see what the bureaucrats have to say.
