Re: Is it possible for the phantom to operate way beyond LOS
Are the CAA stipulations for commercial users of light UAV - or is that for all and any UAV's whatsoever? Totally new to all of this and had a FC40 since Friday - already considering a P2 for all the extra options and functions including GS (and longer fight times with the battery).

Unfortunately I’m with you on that. The writing is on the wall because of the actions of a few. I can’t see that the CAA will tolerate it much longer without some sort of regulation and licensing. I recently carried out liability insurance and am looking into RPAS Certification with a view to operating commercially however I wonder if this will be the base requirement in the future…..
