Scrap the CAA Drone Registration Scheme

Closed 2,243 signatures

What the petition asks

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) are launching UK Drone Registration Scheme, which is due to be launched from 1 October 2019 which means anyone who may fly recreationally will be subject to an annual charge of £16.50 to cover the cost of the registration! We want this registration process scraped
The CAA expect 170,000 UK operators to sign up in the first 18 months which will bring in a revenue of 2.8 million to cover the costs. Other countries have the registration process for free or at a fraction of the cost.

Any drone over 250g will be required to register. Yes, that includes your child’s toy drone.
