Guidance on planning an event or activity involving filming within UK airspace

If the event/activity will utilise uncrewed aircraft, also refer to the UAS - Airspace notification page.

Complaint performance and learning

Statistics of complaint performance and lessons learned

Actions taken through learning from complaints July - September 2025 •       Launch of SORA UK for Operating Safety Case drone applications to ensure the customer experience is improved through better communication and case management processes. •       Updated criteria and process document for categorising and amending safety severity on audit findings to promote consistency •       Improved internal processes when handling licence applications by better communication on the status of an application •       Introduced a digital form for Part-66 applications and improved internal processes to improve communication with customers and case management.

New study on Electronic Conspicuity published by aviation regulator

A study has been published looking at how human factors affect the use of Electronic Conspicuity (EC), and what can be done to can enhance airspace safety.

A report published by the UK Civil Aviation Authority today [16 November 2023] has looked at the importance of technology used in light aircraft that helps make pilots aware of other aircraft such as planes, gliders, helicopters and drones to avoid collisions and increase airspace safety.
