Recreational drones
The UK has strict laws concerning recreational drones. The Civil Aviation Authority, (CAA), recently introduced registration requirements for drone owner. This includes an online theory check. Before flying drones less than 250g, owners must register the aircraft with the CAA. These rules are crucial because they regulate drone flying in certain areas. If you have any questions regarding drone laws, you can always contact the CAA.
Commercial drones
It is possible that the introduction of commercial drones will spark controversy and cause new rules. The Civil Aviation Authority reported recently a significant rise in the number of permissions to fly unmanned aircraft systems. These aircraft have the potential to lower costs, increase efficiency and provide 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. To protect the public from such incidents, a new regulatory framework is needed.
The UK has no fly zones
The UK government announced plans of expanding no-fly zones to drones near airports. These areas will expand from one kilometer to five kilometres. Heathrow purchased drone antidrille systems in response to the Gatwick crash. The new rules set by the government will ensure drones do no pose a threat to passengers or airport workers. The UK leads the charge in regulating drone activity, and preventing criminal acts. It is a crime to fly drones over 400 feet, or within five miles of an airport in the UK. A conviction can result in significant fines and even a death sentence.
Legacy drones
If you're considering flying a Legacy Drone in the UK, it's essential that you know what the rules are. These aircraft are not allowed to be flown in residential areas, but can only be used in open fields. As with other aircraft, operators must remain at least 150 metres away from people and buildings. They are however allowed to fly upto 2kg unmarked legacy drones under the A3 subcategory of open category, which is somewhat more restrictive than its predecessors.
Nano-drones
A nano-drone is a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle. These tiny drones were created by Norwegian company Prox Dynamics. They are lightweight and small. These small drones offer situational awareness above the ground as well as in the air. Because they are small, they can cross over any obstacle without difficulty. The United Kingdom government contracted with a company that will develop 160 Nanodrones. The contract cost twenty million pounds sterling.
DefendTex Drone40
The DefendTex Drone40 (nano unmanned aerial vehicle) has a range of 12 km. The British Army has used it to monitor the area around Mali, where it is being used as loitering munition. It's lightweight and weighs in at less than half of a pound. It can fly for between 30-60 minutes. Depending on the payload, it can carry electronic or kinetic weapons, as well as smoke/flash and a laser designator.
