Part 3: Unmanned aircraft Schedule 9: Unmanned aircraft: powers of police officers relating to ANO 2016 Provision by UAS operators of information about remote pilots
Paragraph 4(2) confers on a constable the power to require a UAS operator to provide information as to the identity of the person or persons who are or were the remote pilot or remote pilots for the flight. Paragraph 4(1) provides that a constable may exercise this power if they have reasonable grounds for believing that a flight by a UA is taking place or has taken place and that the person is question is the UAS operator, and if they have reasonable grounds for suspecting that a relevant competency requirement is or was applicable. This provision will assist constables in enforcing the competency requirement and in investigating any offences or incidents in which a UA has been involved.
	Paragraph 4(3) provides that the term "relevant competency requirement" has the same meaning as in paragraph 1 of this Schedule.
	Paragraph 4(4) and (5) provides that a person is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale if they fail to comply with a requirement imposed by a constable under paragraph 4(2). A person will only be guilty of an offence if the relevant competency requirement is or was applicable and if they could have provided information of the kind required when asked to do so by the constable. Paragraph 4(6) links to a defence which is provided in paragraph 10.
