UK drone pilots must register their details with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) by the end of 29 November or face a fine of £1,000.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

Anyone responsible for a drone which weighs more than 250g (8.8oz) must register it with the regulator online.

The drone operator must be over 18 and pay a £9 annual fee.

The CAA estimates that there are 130,000 drone users in Britain, but so far only around 50,000 people have registered.

Anyone of any age can still fly a drone, if they complete a free 20 question multiple choice quiz online and the drone is registered with an adult.

In December 2018, drone sightings on the runways at Gatwick Airport caused havoc for thousands of Christmas travellers.

The disruption caused about 1,000 flights to be cancelled or diverted over a 36-hour-period.

Simon Smith, a pilot instructor at the Phantom Flight School in Maidstone, Kent, told the BBC that the new regulations could help keep the skies safe, but only in conjunction with better technologies.
