It is a legal requirement for most model flyers to register as an Operator with the CAA (if 18 or over) and have evidence of their competency (regardless of age).
You can register as an Operator through the BMFA or directly with the CAA and existing BMFA Achievements are accepted as evidence of competency.
Those without a recognised BMFA Achievement must pass the BMFA or CAA online test before they fly.
For more information see British Model Flying Association - Be Lawful - Be Safe - Be responsible page
BMFA DMARES/CAA registration is currently £10.33
