Download the full outcome
Detail of outcome
As a result of the consultation, we have created a joint government and industry group called the Future of Flight Industry Group (FFIG). It will develop and publish a Future of Flight Plan that will set out the strategic direction for the UK aviation industry.
When Parliamentary time allows, the Department for Transport (DfT) will take forward:
- legislative changes to ensure limits for alcohol consumption when operating an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)
- legislation for insurance requirements for UAS
We will also continue to review security requirements as new technology is developed to ensure that security standards are sufficient. DfT will work with the Civil Aviation Authority to develop and implement a strategy for remote identification in the UK.
