GM1 Article 14(5A) Registration of Small Control Line Model Aircraft

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 16

Small control line model aircraft are attached via a restraining device to the ground, or to a person, via a cable, or series of cables. As such, the need to identify the RP and operator via an Operator ID is not required, as the RP will either be attached to the aircraft by these cables or will be in the immediate vicinity of the aircraft, if it is fixed to the ground.

Control of the aircraft is maintained by manoeuvring the control cables, which manipulate the control surfaces in order to maintain control of the aircraft.
