FPV UK Drone Membership: Your Questions Answered
Q: Does FPV UK cover me for commercial drone flights?
A: Yes. In addition to £5 million of public liability insurance for non-commercial flying, FPV UK members are also covered by £1 million of commercial public liability insurance.
This allows you to carry out up to £15,000 of commercial drone work per year, either:
as a sole trader, invoicing customers in your own name; or
through a one-person limited company with one director and one shareholder.
Only income from commercial drone flying counts towards the £15,000 annual limit. Income from other work or business activities is not counted.
