CAA ORS9 Decision No. 16

COMPLETION OF OPEN CATEGORY ONLINE TRAINING

The ‘Flyer ID’ online training course and test must be completed by RPs of UA with a mass of 250g or more, i.e.

- A2 subcategory- all UA (note- in the A2 subcategory, an additional qualification must also be held- see AMC1 UAS.OPEN.030(2)(c).

- A3 subcategory- all UA.

The RP must complete the training course and test provided by the CAA Drone and Model Aircraft Registration System (DMARES) (https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/).

In certain circumstances, where provision is included within a model aircraft association Article 16 Authorisation, RPs may complete a model aircraft association training course and test instead of the CAA DMARES test. Following completion of this test, the CAA will issue the RP with a ‘Flyer ID’ number, which is equivalent to the completion of the CAA DMARES Flyer ID test. In this instance the RP does not need to undertake the CAA DMARES Flyer ID test, a RP may only hold one Flyer ID.
