The CAA Drone Awareness Study 2018

By |December 24th, 2018|Categories: CAA |Tags: |Comments Off on The CAA Drone Awareness Study 2018

It’s easy to be misled by the news headlines into thinking that drones have nothing positive to offer the UK economy and indeed society but the CAA, as the body in charge of creating the set of rules and regulations that control their use, were keen to get behind the front pages and find out what people really thought about UAVs. So they interviewed a large number of people from members of the public through to commercial pilots to try to find out where opinion really lies and to be able to build a picture to help them shape the future of the UK Drone Industry.

Drones can accomplish this faster and more simply than a ground based team which is an immediate cost saving.  Add to this, the ability of a UAV to create a detailed map either in 2D or 3D and you already have a considerable advantage.
