Anyone got any steers to who's good or not?
Read through the clear a stud clarification I have assimilated so far-
On initial approach to researching PFAW Iphoned BNUCS for sub 7kg advice.
One thing that bothered me was after qualifying was the renew part i.e. next year( it has to be renewed annually)
Me-"if I already hold the PFAW for sub 7kg once I hopefully qualify why do I need another test for adding another sub 7kg drone?"
BNUCS-"well its a new industry and not all drones are reliable so we need to test them even if you hold the PFAW and you want to add another drone"
Me-"so basically you are not testing me its to test the drone?"
BNUCS-"Yes its a CAA Requirement to ensure safety...."
Me-"thats funny in CAA regs it sates or word to that effect -"you self certify sub 7kg drones for air worthiness"
BNUCS"Yes to get our qual you do to go with CAA PFAW"
Me-" but the thing that entitles you to fly is CAA PFAW...
Can some one clarify
1. If I hold BNUCS do I need to go through them to RENEW my PFAW with a further test etc etc
2.Why am I having to do another test to add another 7kg drone? You still need according to them a flight test to add another craft of the same type to your permission.ie If I have an inspire on PFAW and I want to add another to permissions I need another test.
I have tried to get clarification from CAA but have had nil response as what to paperwork they require/further testing if I was to DIY a PFAW renewal...
Can someone layout the way forward-knowledge is power and all that?
Yours confused

Ps -I can generally smell waffle and is it just me or is BNUCS capitalising on poor comms from CAA and trying to take my pants down?
