Hey everyone! Welcome to Geeksvana! With the new UK drone rules in place from the start of this year, the exciting new A2 CofC qualification has been opening up more airspace for UK drone flyers allowing flight in built up areas and within 50m of people. One issue which has been discussed a lot online and directly with Geeksvana from viewers, surrounds the ability to fly over structures/buildings with your sub 2kg drone. In this video Sean and Andrew discuss the CAA guidance and policy to provide viewers with some advice. All views expressed are our interpretation of the CAA CAP722.

Big thanks to our co-host Andrew McQuillan of Crowded Space Drones for taking the time to join us and chat about this important subject. Find out more about CSD and their work here:
