Temporary airspace restrictions (RA(T)s) around events — air shows, parades, ceremonial activity, sporting events. Often "Drone-only" — they restrict unmanned aircraft but not crewed aviation. Always check before any survey flight near a flagged area on a flagged date.
Amendments to CAA Publications (CAP 722, CAP 1789, CAP 3248 etc.). Calls for input from operators on proposed rule changes. These are the notices that change how commercial drone operations must be run.
Status updates from the CAA Innovation Sandbox — BVLOS trials, Atypical Air Environment operations, Project Skyway corridors, electric and hybrid airframe trials. Forward indicators of where the regulatory envelope is moving.
Mandatory Occurrence Reports of note, drone-related incidents that change the safety case, and CHIRP confidential reporting feedback. Worth reading even when not directly relevant — they preview where rules tend to tighten.
Every mission intake checks SkyWise for any active drone notices in the mission area for the flight window. Anything flagged is reviewed before quote-out.
