Thanks Barry, that makes things a bit clearer.
If we don't raise these issues we will never know if they are in hand or still need addressing

Re: CAP 1763
I’ve no first hand experience of these things but I reckon there’s more chance of a sensible outcome from BMFA/CAA discussions than from an intervention by MPs. However if our MPs could be encouraged to ensure that the CAA were left to get on with it, without ministers or senior government officials getting involved in order to be seen to be doing something, that might be helpful!

Re: CAP 1763
Cliff,
I suggest that any changes should differentiate between the traditional manual eyeball flying and anything which can be flown either autonomously or via FPV.
This can apply to both fixed wing and rotary wing.
The main issue is that the purely ground based pilot line of sight (vision range limited) ‘radio controlled’ vehicles are being lumped into the same category as autonomous/onboard camera equipped vehicles where the inbuilt technology enables them to be easily flown at far greater ranges.
Perhaps using an analogy of potentially restricting all cars in the future because driverless cars cannot be operated safely might help put things in perspective.

Peter, I think that most, if not all of that is covered in Section 3.
