Please note that your new (very long) CAA opertor number must be
displayed on all models but the CAA has confirmed that this new
number will NOT be changed every year. The CAA regrets that this
number is so long but it is regulated by an EU directive that the UK
(DoT) agreed adopt since the UK formally left the EU.
(if it is any consolation, the guy
from the CAA also thinks the length of the number is daft)
****
- By now all members should have
received their CAA operator ID number. No model should take to the
air without this number on the aircraft is accordance with the CAA's
requirements. These can be found here
