And another round:
a new enquiry launched 30 March - this time calling for input on the regulations:
"The Transport Committee launches an inquiry into civilian drones. The aim of this inquiry is to consider how the benefits of drone technology can be maximised within a robust safety framework."
The Committee has called for written submissions, with particular interest in ideas for:
- The safety and security risks posed by drones;
- The role of technology in enabling safe and sustainable growth in the civilian drones sector;
- The likely effectiveness of key government proposals in its recent consultation, including pilot training and the proposed online registration scheme;
- The current enforcement arrangements for misuse of drones in the UK;
- Insurance issues and actions needed to create a viable market for drones insurance; and
- The economic growth potential of the drones industry in the UK and the government's role in enabling that growth
[MOD: any chance of altering the title? As has been pointed out, I erred in attributing this consultation to the CAA; it is the Transport Committee. Thanks]
