Drone Licence

Can anyone tell me whether my PPL privileges will allow me to fly a light drone or do I have to apply for (and pass a test for) a separate drone 'rating'?
Thanks.

I can understand that somebody who flies a model aeroplane will have a lot in common with somebody flying a (probably much easier) drone .. but I don't see how having a PPL helps.

Best bet is buy one under 249 grams.

No credit given. I it’s 20 questions, open book and took me about 4 minutes to get my drone licence. All done on line.

It's not a Licence, it is simply a registration process that includes a ludicrously simple test that can be taken as many times as it takes to attain a pass whilst having all the answers just a browser tab away.

Just to confirm you are looking to fly a drone non commercially? As it's a little bit more to do that route, again no license, it's actually more of a "permit"
