<p>The Government has tasked the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) with developing and
operating the Unmanned Aircraft Operator Registration and Education Scheme to improve
the accountability of all users of small unmanned aircraft, whether they be drones
or model aircraft, and their awareness of how to fly them safely. The CAA has recently
published its consultation on the proposed charge to cover the cost of running this
service. The proposed charge balances keeping the charge for registration as low as
possible and ensuring that the scheme funds itself. Consultation responses will inform
the CAA’s final decision on the charge, which will be taken in July 2019. The proposals
will be in line with forthcoming requirements from the European Aviation Safety Agency.</p>
