uin	249885
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>The flight restriction zone around aerodromes was developed in response to submissions gathered through our consultation on the safe and effective regulation of drones, ‘Taking Flight: The Future of Drones in the UK’. There was significant interest in the consultation, which closed in September 2018 and received around 5,000 responses. A range of options were considered when developing the extended restriction zone and factors including impacts on all airspace users, safety, security and the communication and enforceability of the zone were all evaluated.</p><p> </p><p>The new legislation takes the same approach as the former restriction zone by allowing any small unmanned aircraft, including model aircraft, to fly within the restriction zone where the relevant permission has been received. When an Air Traffic Control Unit (ATCU) is operational, permission needs to be sought from this unit.</p><p> </p><p>The CAA will be assessing the permissions process as part of a wider review of airport restriction zones later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/05/2019 11:54:56 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
