It's already happened. If you want to take photos in public areas or operate commercially, you need to be licenced by the CAA as of 1st January. My Application has been in for about a month now, so don't expect them to move fast. Mind you, they cashed my cheque on 19th April, so they are efficient in some areas....

My CAA Permission to fly arrived today, so no rush, then.
My personal take on it is that it gives me a competitive advantage over non-licenced operators and shows that I am a bit more serious about it all. I welcome the move.
My professional insurance states that I fly within CAA rules and I'm sure that that is a standard term, therefore those operating without a Permission may find their insurance is invalid.
Time to start plugging away to get some customers on board, I think.

In NZ I can only get public liability insurance and cannot insure the Helicopter itself. The insurance you have in the UK...do you know if they insure internationally?

Same insurance situation in Canada. Public liability only and no coverage for the helicopter.
