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
