We would like to hear from you

The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

This policy concept sets out the approach for organisations intending to apply and that may participate in a trial to obtain a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) for authorising their own operations in the Specific Category. Only a limited number of organisations will be selected as part of the trial while broader policy objectives and guidance are developed.
