Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to regulate the use of agricultural drones.
This question was answered on 5th July 2023
Regulating the operation of drones is the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Authority. Implementing Regulation 2019/947 sets out a risk-based regulatory framework, which lays down detailed provisions for the operation of unmanned aircraft.
The Future of Flight Industry Group has been established between Government, industry and the CAA in order to maximise the benefits of technologies such as drones whilst ensuring the safety of the UK aviation system.
