Do you need to do flight planning and risk assessments with an A2 C of C?

You still need to complete an element of flight planning and risk assessment with an A2 CofC

As part of holding an A2 C of C from UAVHUB (authorised on behalf of the CAA), you still need to conduct an element of flight planning and risk assessments.

The reason for this is to make sure that you know where and how you are going to fly in your proposed area and ensure that uninvolved people don't stray into your flight path. The only way to do this is with a flight plan.

Remember that if you are flying a 'Legacy Aircraft' between 250g-2 kg the separation distance from uninvolved people is 50 metres. If using a UK2 class or C2 class* (*until 31 December 2027) the separation distance from uninvolved people is 30 metres or 5m in the low-speed mode (following the 1:1 rule)

It is also vital that you check to make sure that you are not planning on operating with a Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) as you would need prior permission to fly within that area. Without doing any Flight Planning or Risk Assessments, you may find that your Public Liability Insurance is invalid.
