What UK SORA and the RPC Framework Signal About CAA Direction

What UK SORA and the RPC Framework Signal About the CAA Direction The deeper significance of RPC-L1 and RPC-L2 is not that the CAA has invented more certificates.

Why RPC-L1 Alone Does Not Authorise a UK Drone Flight

One of the most persistent mistakes in the UK drone market is treating pilot competence and legal operating permission as though they are the same thing. They are not. RPC-L1 proves a level of remote pilot competence.

What it is not, however, is a blanket BVLOS licence.
