Removal of Licence Limitations

Verified from official sources
4.6 & 4.8Version 1Effective -Verified 31 August 2026

In plain language

If your licence has restrictions (like being limited to a specific drone weight), you can remove them by passing a practical assessment, but this will not extend your licence's expiration date.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that limitations on a UAPL can be removed by passing a dedicated 'removal of limitations' practical assessment, though this application does not extend the overall validity of the licence.

Original regulatory text

Limitation(s) can be removed by undergoing a “removal of limitations” practical assessment with the UATOs... An application to remove limitation(s) does not extend the validity of the UAPL.
