  • When was the Technical Advisory Group for the agricultural drone project under the Civil Aviation Rules Update Programme established, by whom, who are its members, and what are its terms of reference?

Answer

I am advised that the Civil Aviation Authority sent an invitation to join the Technical Advisory Group on 21 August 2026. The invitation was sent to individuals who expressed an interest in joining the group. I do not believe it is in the public interest to name them. The Terms of Reference is attached.
