Do I need drone registration if I have a drone licence?

Most drone users will need to register with the UK CAA, regardless of whether or not they have a drone licence (ie A2 CofC or GVC).

Registration includes a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and you might need both.

The term drone licence can be used as a way to describe the Flyer ID and Operator ID.
