CAP722L: Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in UK Airspace – Specific Category Modification Policy

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

CAP 722L offers guidance to support a UAS Operator wishing to modify their operation.

Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2019/947 UAS.SPEC.030(2) requires a UAS Operator to apply for an update to their Operational Authorisation (OA) following any significant change to the operation.

This policy sets out how to assess whether a potential modification is a significant change under UAS.SPEC.030(2) and therefore requires a new OA.

We have also published our UAS Modification Assessment Checklist to be used in line with CAP722L.
