Another CAA Consultation...have your say again!

It seems not a month goes by at the moment without a CAA Consultation. The last consultation was an initial information gathering one, the CAA have used the initial respones to shape their proposals for the new laws. They have also produced a document summarising the responses they recieved and how they have interpreted them. I would say in general they have gone with the consensus but there’s a couple of areas where it looks like they’ve gone another direction for reasons beyond our control or understanding.

This consultation seems to build on that with actual proposals for changes to the law, so please please take an hour to read to document over the Christmas break and have your say before 10th January:

Where are the EU Drone Regulations documented?

I must’ve read hundreds of pages documentation and some of it is not easy to find. I won’t explain what each of them does in this post as this will come later. I’ll add new documents to this post as I find them.
