I'm going through the same decision process regarding PfAW, but I'm not sure why you think it'll open up access...presumably so you can offer your services to private landowners?
There aren't many places in the UK where it's illegal to fly as such, once you're operating within CAA guidelines. You're possibly more restricted if doing it for reward than for a hobby.
I know the National Trust don't want people flying from their land for example, supposedly because most hobbyists don't have adequate training or insurance, but it's a bit like wild camping in England, it's not legal, but it happens everywhere & no-one gets prosecuted, or even stopped. I was even told by an NT park ranger they generally ignore it if there's no problem. It's more a case of trying not to encourage it rather than actually preventing it.
I'm not sure under what laws you can be prosecuted for it either. |
