The new CAA PDRA01 application system is a breath of fresh air!!!
I'm really pleased to say the #caa have done a great job. Well done!
I assisted one of our clients to apply for their first Operational Authorisation yesterday, five minutes on an easy to use application portal, pay the fee, and the OA was there to download immediately.
Coming from the old school of weeks of writing an OM, submitting it to the CAA and waiting weeks for it to be rejected, returned, reworked, resubmitted and wait again this truly is a giant leap forward.
As a reminder to all drone users operating under PDRA01 you don't need to upload documents in support of the application, you just declare you will comply with requirements for logging flights, maintaining an OM etc (and actually comply obviously!). Due to the simplification and the speed of turn round you only need apply for renewals 28 days in advance instead of the old 90 days.
