CAA Renewal Registration 2021
On renewal or registration of the CAA registration system members may find that they are prompted for new information, which was not asked for last year. The new fields are, Telephone, Insurer and Policy number, these are not mandatory to complete and most people are not aware of their Insurer and Policy number. You may also find that if you are changing from the SAA registering/renewing your CAA registration to going on-line direct you may be prompted to take the on-line test, which again has changed as the new test now covers a 5-year period. If you have any questions please contact the SAA Membership Secretary who will be happy to advise you (contact details of SAA Officials can be found on the SAA contacts page).

Regarding CAA Registration renewals for 2021, the CAA will send out a reminder to the SAA member about 3 weeks prior to your expiry date by email (this may even be up to 10 weeks in advance). You will have an option to follow their instructions and pay online and receive your renewal that day or send a copy of your reminder to the SAA Membership Secretary with the fee required. The SAA Membership Secretary will then send the renewal fee to the CAA. Some members depending on when they first took out registration, have already had reminders and need to renew if their registration has expired. Operator ID numbers are staying the same for members this year so you current number applies for next year, but you must ensure your registration is up to date and has not expired. You can easily check your registration following the link below.

Drone Registration Education System
It’s been quite an eventful month since the DRES went live and everyone has been eager to understand what they should do to remain flying. All the model associations have been issuing their interpretation of the guidance and advising their members. The processes are still not 100% clear, however our advice is,
Please also note: Aircraft Safety: Endangering the safety of an aircraft could result in a five-year prison sentence. Failure to comply: could result in a fixed penalty notice or prosecution if challenged by the Police should they suspect you of flying unlawfully.
