Three details to collect.
Class mark→Check the
Weight & camera→Identify the
Operation
Use those details in the date finder or the UK timetable guide. Keep registration requirements and RID requirements as separate checks.
Small changes can matter.
If you are adding a module, battery or accessory, check the manufacturer’s permitted configuration and the resulting aircraft weight. “Mini” in a product name is not a regulatory category, and an advertised weight may describe a different configuration from yours.
Worked example: a small camera drone
Suppose the aircraft weighs 240g and carries a camera. That tells you it is under 250g and over 100g, but you still need its class marking and operating category. If it has a European C label, use the class-mark guide before treating it as a UK0 aircraft or an unmarked legacy aircraft.
What if it weighs less than 100g?
Do not turn an omitted timetable case into a blanket exemption. Consult the current CAA guidance for your configuration and operation. Our finder deliberately returns an individual check for combinations it cannot resolve.
