    CAA Skywise Alert 30th May 2019:

    DJI Matrice 210 series drone

    On 22 March 2019 the CAA released a Skywise update regarding the DJI M210 series drone and a number of reported failures.
    ย 
    The manufacturer has been unable to identify a common root cause and continues to investigate whether the failures are related. The CAA has received no further similar reports.
    ย 
    No additional restrictions beyond those in the Air Navigation Order 2016 are in place for the use of a DJI M210.
    ย 
    However, the CAA reminds operators to have appropriate mitigationโ€™s in place if flying over persons or property in accordance with the Air Navigation Order, as was the case prior to this reported issue.
    ย 
    SW2019/116
    The key message here is No additional restrictions beyond those in the Air Navigation Order 2016 are in place for the use of a DJI M210″, the CAA are therefore confident that the Matrice M210 series of drones are safe to fly and can therefore continue to be used without further restriction.
