What is a drone C label?

A drone C label is a classification that will apply from 1 January 2026 under new UK CAA regulations. These labels include, C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4. They are based on the drone's weight and capabilities. Each label indicates how far the drone must stay from uninvolved people and confirms compliance with safety, technical, and operational standards. This classification determines how the drone can be flown within the Open Category.
