Becomes effective for UK drone flying from the 30th July 2018.

It’s a change to the Air Navigation Order (ANO) which introduced (in Article 94A) a 400ft height limit on the operation of all Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) which will come into effect on the 30th July 2018. Whilst the changes to the ANO are largely aimed at regulating 'drones', the 400ft restriction will also apply to model aircraft below 7Kg.

However, agreement was reached that the British Model Flying Associations would collectively apply for an exemption from Article 94A to allow their members to continue operating model aircraft below 7Kg above 400ft as they do under the current ANO. The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority were supportive of this course of action and do not foresee any reason why the exemption would not be in place by the 30th July.
