18/OIR/194

Dear Mr Hanna

Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) Request

I refer to your request made via FYI on 22 March 2018 requesting
information concerning investigations by the Civil Aviation Authority
(CAA) into retailers or importers of UAVs for potential breaches of the
Civil Aviation Rules (CAR).

The CAA has not conducted any investigations into retailers or importers
of UAV for potential breaches of the CAR and is not aware of any potential
breaches of the CAR by retailers or importers.

As the CAA does not hold any information requested you request is refused
in accordance with section 18(e) of the Act.

You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman to seek an
investigation and review of our decision. The Ombudsman’s contact details
are:

Address:          The Ombudsman
