Currently, its main statutory functions are to:
▪ regulate civil aviation and airspace safety: licensing of airports, aerodromes,
pilots, air traffic controllers, aircraft maintenance engineers and commercial
UAV operators, licensing and certifying the design, maintenance and repair of
aircraft; approve sub-orbital rockets and orbital rockets launched from the UK
and satellites launched by UK companies;

Future of Flight
2.32 The UK has committed to delivering Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations
(“BVLOS”) for uncrewed aircraft (UAS) as part of the CAA Airspace
Modernisation Strategy,16 and the Government's Future of Flight Programme.17
2.33 In October 2025, in coordination with the DfT, the CAA published the Future of
Flight: BVLOS Roadmap,18 which steps through operational scenarios under
which industry can expect to carry out BVLOS UAS operations, both now and as
capability develops.
2.34 The next major milestone will be publication of airspace architecture proposals in
2026, which should provide the framework for BVLOS operations in UK
integrated airspace.
2.35 Despite these developments, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding a number of
issues, including who future users might be, the nature of new users’ aircraft and
flight patterns, what physical or digital infrastructure would best support these
new user volumes to use UK airspace in a safe and managed way and

To that end we
are launching the “Post-Brexit GA Challenge” for GA in the UK which focusses
on the following outcomes:
▪ implementing the equivalent of EASA regulations (after the 31 Dec 2020)
which we and the GA sector agree the UK should adopt;
▪ mitigating potential impacts that leaving EASA may pose;
▪ diverging from EASA and removing any EU "Red Tape" or perceived "Gold-
Plating" by the CAA of prior EASA regulations while maintaining ICAO
compliance;
▪ Maintaining overall GA risks to participants, other airspace users and third
parties at a tolerable level in the context of increasing demand for delegation
to organising bodies and greater demand for access to lower airspace from
other users (e.g. drones).
2.3 To help concentrate effort, opportunities are being sought across the following
key areas of our work with the GA sector: airworthiness and maintenance,
manufacturing and UK industry, licensing and flying training, airfields, rules of the
air, medical

What was meant was that the CAA
should address safety, as opposed to nuisance issues and that there were
some risks arising from aviation that CAA could not be responsible for, e.g. the
impact on privacy from drones.
