In plain language
Because permit applications for flying over roads are complex and take longer to process, CAAS recommends submitting your application as early as possible.
Requirement as structured
CAAS advises that Operator Permit (OP) or Activity Permit (AP1) applications involving unmanned aircraft operations over roads are complex and require longer processing times, meaning applicants should submit them well in advance.
Original regulatory text
OP or AP1 applications that involve UA operation over roads are more complex and may need longer processing time. Such OP or AP1 applications should therefore be made early.
