Hey everyone! The CAA are very much the key cog in the wheel of the UK drone industry. The thousands of operational authorisation holders operating in the specific category must deal with them to gain a permission. The CAA have a mandated priority and responsibility to grow the commercial side of drones but in recent years the number of operators has dropped by more than half. Tonight, we take a look behind the issues to ask what is happening. During the show, we will also be sharing clips from Sean’s interview with Mark Wharry of the UK CAA. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
