As an active member in the UAV community, we work alongside several well-respected organisations within the drone sector, and we’re delighted to announce that we’ve now partnered with Unmanned Support. This partnership continues our ongoing commitment to helping pilots operate their drones safely, confidently, and, most important of all, legally.
Who are Unmanned Support?
If you’re new to drones or only just learning about the legal requirements of UAV flying, you may have concluded that quite a few people will have been working on the infrastructure, knowhow, and compliance work needed to keep drones in the air. Well, it’s not just individuals that have been putting in the hard work. Drones are big business, and that business is growing, so organisations like Unmanned Support and ARPAS-UK are needed to help support this rapidly growing sector to encourage and champion the safe and compliant drone operations that are at the heart of it all.
Unmanned Support aims to do exactly what its name suggests: provide the everyday support UK drone operators need to work legally, work safely, develop their skills, grow their organisation, and connect with others in the sector. The team also advocates for proportionate and effective regulation, ensuring drone technology can continue to move forward in the UK.
