Continue to recognise the EASA drone classifications

Petition Details

Two years after the UK left the EU, DfT has announced its intention to abandon the EASA drone classification scheme despite still having no replacement in place.

The Government must reverse this and continue to recognise the EASA drone classifications until it has fully implemented a replacement.

Additional Information

The 2020 EASA rules, which the UK helped to develop, introduced a much more restrictive set of standard controls on drone use.

These tough restrictions were balanced by the introduction of a classification scheme for drones allowing for lighter restrictions on drones with proven safety features and technologies.

DfT continuing to adhere to the tighter EASA restrictions whilst abandoning the classification scheme leaves UK drone owners in an unreasonable and confusing legislative limbo.
