I've just received notification from the CAA that operators of ALL drones and model aircraft weighing more than 250g will be required by law to take an online test to qualify and to register annually (at their own expense).
This is from 30 November 2019, only five weeks from now.
Although the annual registration cost is a relatively low £9 I think this will result in many inadvertently breaking the law because no doubt thousands of model fliers have no contact with the CAA or even a model club.
My own model aircraft will remain in the loft!
Well, that made me wonder, so I went off to look up the specs of my drone. Turns out to be 96g with battery.
I am not going to lose any sleep now I know this.
