Drone Surveys Explained: Boosting Efficiency, Accuracy, and Safety in 2025

What Exactly is a Drone Survey?

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has recently unveiled its “CAP 2968 Atypical Operations Consultation – First Edition,” a pioneering document set to revolutionise the unmanned aircraft (UA) sector. With a focus on enhancing safety and operational efficiency in Atypical Air Environments (AAEs), this consultation outlines a comprehensive framework that promises to significantly benefit drone operators, including those at RUAS.

As a drone specialist deeply immersed in the evolving landscape of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, I’ve been closely following the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) efforts to integrate these advanced operations into our airspace. This is a pivotal moment for the industry, promising to expand the capabilities of drone technology in unprecedented ways. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening, why it’s important, and how it impacts drone operators like us.
