@Andy_H I’ve linked to the CAA website in my last post. All the relevant info is on that link, you need a flyer ID
Working out what you need based on the weight of your drone or model aircraft
The requirements are based on the weight or class of your drone or model aircraft.
250g to less than 25kg, including UK1, UK2, UK3 or UK4 class
If your drone or model aircraft weighs from 250g to less than 25kg, you must get a Flyer ID and Operator ID.
If your drone or model aircraft is UK1, UK2, UK3 or UK4 class, you must get a Flyer ID and Operator ID.
100g to less than 250g, including UK0
If your drone or model aircraft weighs 100g to less than 250g, you must get a Flyer ID.
If your drone or model aircraft weighs 100g to less than 250g and has a camera, you must also get an Operator ID. If it does not have a camera, you can choose whether or not to get an Operator ID.
Less than 100g
If your drone or model aircraft weighs less than 100g, you do not have to get a Flyer ID. However, we strongly recommend you take the test to get one, as it will help you to fly safely and legally.
You can also choose whether or not to get an Operator ID.
