Hi all has anyone in the uk registered with drone safe is it completley neccessary?

No, its not necessary Atm.

However after November 2019 you will have to register your drone  and take a safety test … There will be alot more details I suspect, closer to the time ...


Found a link, giving details

No need to register with anyone just yet but you will have to soon, when they work out just what they will be doing - but the Nats app is a must to use - as you can already use it to publish notam airdata of your flight live right from your mobile device -  I do think this or something very similar will become a part of your flights after your registration in 2019 - and look at this  - http://www.nats.aero/droneflyingtips

Thanks I do have a private pilots licence but think they are sapping a lot of the fun out of it due to the few that ruin it for all.

Almost everything that Drone Safe gives you can also be found in a more useful format without registering at http://notaminfo.com/ukmap

Or use whatever system you already use for finding out about notams and restricted zones.

I think the Drone Code is actually pretty good and a lot better than it could have been, people do need to be told what is acceptable and most of the limits are sensible ones.
