Drone exam · Incident reporting and recordkeeping

A UK operator experiences a serious UAS occurrence. Why should the crew use the CAA's current UAS occurrence guidance rather than a generic internal checklist alone?

Answer

The guidance distinguishes event types and reporting paths for UAS operations, including when CAA and/or AAIB reporting is required. Internal procedures should point to the current official process.

Explanation

The correct recipient depends on the nature and category of the occurrence.
