OK, so I'm going to start selling my services as an Aerial Photographer in the UK. For this I realise I need a PfCO from The CAA. Looking at a large number of companies in the UK offering this, it would seem they have this sewn up between in some sort of unofficial cartel. Their prices are all...

Hi All, I'm a newbie with a Phantom 4 Pro. I have a question about the Drone Laws in UK. I have seen the http://dronesafe.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Dronecode.pdf which states you cannot fly more than 500m away, or 400 *feet* above (120m). I also note that you *must* keep your drone in...

Hello all, this is my first posting on this forum so this question also serves simultaneously as my greeting to you all. I've very recently purchased my first drone, a Phantom 3 Adv, and I'm rather keen to stay within the rules and regulations - getting shut down serves no purpose to anyone...

Is it legal in the UK to fly over property that you do not own such as neighbours houses as long as you do not infringe on their privacy and are high enough... Just wondering as it is not made clear in the CAA's drone code?

Potentially a silly question but cant hurt to ask - I am going to be doing a part time aerial photography business in a few months once I've completed a course and got CAA approval. So until then I want to get a good portfolio of images/videos for the website facebook ready for posting when I...

Setting up a drone business and cant find any info on if you can fly at night or within cities if you have CAA approval. I was just wondering what the rules are on this in the UK as may have jobs in the city and also for night photos. Also if with AA Approval you can do this is it also ok for...

Just trying to work out if its viable to start a part time dorn ephotography & video business. I have a drone, just need CAA approval after a course. Im in a rural spot so plenty of farms, buildings, estates, people will potentially want photographing but I'm just unsure if people will want to...

Read the CAA guidlines for commerical flights and it appears to say keep 50 metres away from buildings. So how do these companies that offer Roof Inspections get close? Do you need some kind of exception from CAA? Ive seen plenty of CAA Approved businesses offering it and videos of going much...

I have my CAA Practical Flight Assessment coming up and I don't feel terribly prepared. For the people who've done the test, what did you do for your pre-flight research? What did you bring with you to the exam, and do I take the 50m rule into account when taking off/landing and flying near to...

Hi I have been flying for just over a year as a hobby and I am thinking of moving forward and getting qualified here in the UK. I have looked into the requirements to obtain PfCO from the CAA, but I was wondering once I have received my qualification does this entitle me to act as a trainer to...

It mentions in the CAA Law that if your UAV is under 7KG You do not need permission to fly in ATS & MATZ Airspace , Can someone confirm this is correct ? I want to fly my Drone in the location of Yeovil in somerset but obviously away from the airport and where it is safe to do so, avoiding...

Hi, Total Newbie here! I'm a professional photographer and I've just embarked on the journey for using a Drone for my work. I'm currently just 'playing' with a small Husban X4 quadcopter to get used to flying a remote control drone. I have just, however, ordered a Phantom 4. Next I'm aware, I...

So, in my quest to find an answer to a question I had in another post I discovered something interesting. I had an email back from the CAA in regards to my question of using a portion of my friends drone footage, which was provided to me by him for free for me to use in a dvd production that I...
