Cessation of RPA accreditation

In plain language

Your drone accreditation is valid for up to 3 years. It will end earlier (the day after) if you are granted a full Remote Pilot Licence (RePL).

Requirement as structured

An RPA accreditation ceases to be valid on the day after the holder is granted a remote pilot licence, or 3 years after the accreditation comes into effect, whichever occurs first.

Original regulatory text

An accreditation ceases at the start of the earlier of the following days (unless sooner cancelled): (a) if the person holding the accreditation is granted a remote pilot licence—the day after the licence is granted; (b) the day after the end of the period of 3 years beginning on the day the accreditation comes into effect.
