	question text	Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to introduce a requirement for those purchasing drones to be informed of the risk drones pose to nesting birds and their feeding grounds.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer
	uin	HL705
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2020 answer text <p>While there are no current plans to require those purchasing drones to be informed specifically of the risk drones pose to nesting birds and their feeding grounds, the Government has been working closely with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and other agencies to encourage the responsible use of drones. For example, the CAA launched a website, www.dronesafe.co.uk, which serves to raise awareness of the current rules of the air and the “drone and model aircraft code” sets these out in a clear and simple way.</p><p>The CAA has also developed a competency test, which is compulsory for remote pilots flying unmanned aircraft, including drones, from 250g up to 20kg. It covers subjects such as flight restriction zones, height restrictions, registration and how close to people and buildings a drone can legally fly, as well as reminding those flying drones to be aware and considerate of their surroundings wherever they are being flown.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 04/02/2020 14:14:06 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2020 answer text <p>The Civil Aviation Authority’s Drone and Model Aircraft Code provides important guidance on how to fly responsibly and within the law.

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce a requirement that drones display a licence number on the side of the drone, clear enough to be identified through binoculars, that could be reported to the Civil Aviation Authority if users do not comply with the Drone and Model Aircraft Code.

	uin	HL1447
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2020 answer text <p>Since the end of November 2019, operators of SUA from 250g up to 20kg need to register with the CAA and their ID number needs to be displayed on the aircraft. In most cases this will be clearly visible on the outside of the aircraft. However, it is important to be proportionate, therefore in some cases the number may be contained within a compartment that can be easily accessed without using a tool.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 20/02/2020 15:55:35 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
