Why it's in the directory
UK Drone and Model Aircraft Code sits in United Kingdom — CAA Drone Rules — The Drone Code, operator and flyer IDs, operational categories, airspace restrictions and permissions in the UK. It earns a place here because it is a primary, actively maintained source rather than a rehost of someone else's data, and because it stays useful whether you are an enthusiast, a student or working the line.
