Drone Scene
×Good 2 Go is now in Public Beta.
It has been updated to support the UK drone regulations that come into effect on 1st January 2026 and no longer supports regulations for 2025.

Results

You can fly because:

  • You can fly in the Over People (A1) Open sub-category.
  • Your drone is small enough or class-marked appropriately for Over People (A1) (under 250g, or UK0/C0 or UK1/C1 or equivalent).
  • In Over People (A1) you may fly close to and over uninvolved people, provided you never endanger anyone and you never fly over crowds.
  • You do not need an A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC) to fly in the Over People (A1) sub-category.
  • You must still follow the Drone and Model Aircraft Code, including the 120m height limit and any airspace restrictions.
  • Sub-250g legacy / self-built aircraft do not require Remote ID from 1st January 2028.
  • Use the Drone Scene map to check for any airspace restrictions in the area before you take off.
