Just watched a clip on Utube from Windswept Robert and he was talking about the new rules coming in next year He stated that everybody flying a Drone over 100 gram will have to take the 40 question test in order to fly it.He also said that the new drone markings coming in will allow the flying of any drone up to 900 Grams as we can fly a 249 gram drone.
Wondered if anybody else has heard about these new rules or are they still in the dark ??? Please let me know…
The rules will probably come into force. Do not worry about the 40 question exam, its all very straight forward and down to common sense in most cases. I took the test about 18 months ago when I got my first drone. I read it up for about 15 minutes then took the on line test, I think I got about 85% with not much effort. I believe the pass mark is pretty low anyway.
Agreed.
I call the FPV UK CofC Drone Law (which gets you a Flyer ID) a quiz, rather than a test.
It’s a quiz, designed to teach you the knowledge. As against a test.
You can take as long as you want, you can do it as many times as you want, and you can even look up the answers if you want to (but you won’t need to, the correct answer is pretty obvious - because it’s a teaching tool, rather than a testing tool).
Don’t panic. The test isn’t that hard if you read the materials.
I also know someone who had the test/quiz open in one tab and the reading material in the other.
