Their ambition is to demonstrate a multi-faceted approach
enabling BVLOS not just in TDAs but also in Transponder Mandatory Zones (TMZs) with potential
ADS-B coverage for drone operators.

There have also been a number of Future of Flight developments
including: the launch of the CAA’s Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) roadmap;
Amazon Prime Air trialling its first UK drone deliveries; consultations on regulatory
change to enable commercial Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) operations to
take place by 2028; the Law Commission finalising its recommendations to
modernise the legal framework for highly automated and autonomous aviation; and
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) driving forward a new phase of the Future
Flight Programme.4
Consumer protection and accessibility
• The CAA has also continued to deliver its expanded consumer protection work
programme, with new areas of focus including:
o the launch of a new compliance programme looking at whether airlines are
meeting their obligations under UK261 legislation when consumers face
flight disruption;
o a review of the consumer purchasing journey; and
o various strands of accessibility related work

The procedure allows us to review whether the classification remains
appropriate to the demands upon that volume of airspace – which could include
future use by drones – and to propose a different classification if necessary, or
the use of airspace in a flexible way.

CHANNEL
CROSSING
WARNING
A number of airspace restrictions and a
temporary danger area will be in place over
the Channel this summer to accommodate
a large Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA)
conducting atmospheric research.

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;

Limitations of legacy OLS
• Overly Conservative Design Assumptions
• Based on outdated aircraft performance and navigational capability
• Lack of Precision in Modelling
• Simplified geometry not aligned with real flight paths
• Limited Flexibility
• Little scope for risk-based, evidence-led decisions
• Disproportionate Impact on Development
• Unnecessary constraints on planning, infrastructure and temporary works
• Misalignment with Modern Aviation Practices
• Did not reflect PBN, improved navigation, or operational and technology advances
• High Administrative Burden
• Excess consultations and objections without clear safety benefit
• Limited Flexibility for Emerging Aviation
• E-VTOL, Drones and future aircraft types (777X)

It is crucial that NERL has access to mechanisms for additional funding for unforeseen
costs that arise, not only within existing planned projects but from other known unknown
risks such as cyber security, and the increasing use of drones.
