I have just received a new revision of CAP722C which includes a statement that after 2024, a GVC will be required by all pilots. Is this correct? I have only recently passed my A2 C of C and I wonder if this was a waste of money.

Hi!
You might be better off posting your question in the 'products' section of this forum.
That is way more active.

Im completely missing that section in the version on their website - https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/doc ... %20and%20Policy.pdf

Remote pilots operating under 'standard permission'/'PFCO' based permissions that were first issued prior to 31 December 2020
Paragraph B3.2.7.2
In paragraph B3.2.7.2 (Remote pilots operating under 'standard permission'/'PFCO' based permissions that were first issued prior to 31 December 2020), replace the current text with the following:

AS operators are responsible for ensuring that all remote pilots flying under the terms of their permission are competent to do so, are kept in current flying practise and are kept fully aware of the applicable regulations.

Until 31 December 2023 remote pilots may be used by the UAS operator if they:

hold a GVC; or,
hold an NQE 'full recommendation' obtained prior to 31 December 2020 and a valid 'flyer ID'; or,
comply with one of the previously accepted Alternative Means of Compliance categories detailed in Table 3 below, are in possession of a 'flyer ID', and can demonstrate currency within the past 2 years.
From 1 January 2024 onwards, all remote pilots must be in possession of a GVC.

As always, it's difficult to follow, but the bottom line is what had me worried.

I think we must be reviewing different documents as this isn't in the one I linked to.
