A voice for people who love to fly.
FPV UK is The Drone Association. Founded in 2009, it supports drone and radio controlled model aircraft enthusiasts across the UK.
Its roots are in first person view flying, but its community extends far beyond goggles and racing. Camera drone pilots, model aircraft flyers and people discovering their first drone are all welcome.

Your questions, answered.
Two organisations. Clear next steps.
Is FPV UK only for FPV racing pilots?
No. FPV UK welcomes camera drone pilots, model aircraft enthusiasts and both line of sight and first person view flyers.
Does FPV UK membership include Drone Assisted approval?
No. Membership and Drone Assisted registration are separate. Every application is assessed, and pilots must meet the insurance, registration, competency and permission requirements relevant to the work.
Can I use FPV UK cover for every commercial assignment?
Do not assume so. FPV UK advertises £1m commercial liability cover with eligibility and income limits. Drone Assisted assignments may require different or higher cover. Review the policy and the assignment requirements before accepting work.
Will joining Drone Assisted guarantee me jobs?
No. Work depends on customer demand, your location, skills, equipment and availability. Joining the network is free, and you choose whether to accept suitable assignments.
Where do I join FPV UK?
