Hey everyone! In a recent poll on Geeksvana, we asked how many recreational drone pilots fly under an Article 16 Authorisation. Nearly 50% of those responding stated they had not head of it! So, today we have a explanation of how to fly in more places, closer to people, using Article 16.

Please note: Geeksvana is not paid by FPVUK and they are not sponsoring this content. In fact, Sean is a member of the BMFA for club reasons. However, due to cost of membership and benefits associated with FPVUK membership, we feel it is more likely FPVUK will suit most recreational drone flyers. It is also the thoughts of Sean that FPVUK is more active and takes more steps to protect free and open drone use in the UK. So, they have our recommendation.
