That will have been PDR. Funnily enough I met him last week at BMFA Buckminster, he was chief judge for the Payload Challenges.

A new club - The UK Modeller’s Flying Club

Far too soon to make that sort of statement. The vast majority are unlikely to be affected by RID requirements. -

The aim will be for sites that are regularly used by BMFA members. However, I must stress there is a long way to go with this and the aim will be the minimum amount of effect for the maximum number of members. -

The Devil will be in the details, however, there is no indication that only sites used by affiliated clubs can be listed. We are working on listing any site regularly used by BMFA members, including slope sites. -

Not died a death at all. We have already compiled quite an extensive list of sites including many slope sites just from the request from affiliated clubs to provide site information. There will be a further push before too long to gather further site information too. The reality is there is still a lot of detail to be worked out, which is where the devil usually hides, however, I am fairly confident that the vast majority of BMFA members will be pretty much unaffected and the ongoing work and efforts will be, as always, for the minimum amount of effect for the maximum number of model aircraft flyers. -

No it doesn't. You are fundamentally misunderstanding the CAA proposals. Your 'All UK club' wouldn't have an Article 16 authorisation so would be unable to register sites. While there would be no issue in this club affiliating, as long as it meets the requirements it serves no purpose that isn't already being met. When the CAA say "The flight takes place within the bounds of a model aircraft flying site, declared by a model aircraft club in their Article 16 Authorisation." The club in question would be the BMFA. -

Actually, it was nothing to do with the latest upgrade at all. There was a major issue with the web server last week which took me a while to resolve and it ended up with the achievement scheme website being set back to a pre 2025 edition. Now resolved though and the current editions (2025) not the 2024 one you have linked to are available and can be downloaded in their entirety. https://achievements.bmfa.uk/the-tests/standards-guidelines-current See https://achievements.bmfa.uk/the-tests/standards-guidelines-current
