Permission is required from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to fly a kite above 60m, in accordance with Article 92 of the Air Navigation Order 2016.
The CAA has a dedicated page on its website containing guidance on the rules and regulations relating to kite flying in the UK. The CAA intends to shortly commence an email campaign directed at UK kite associations, organisations and clubs with information on the existing regulations relating to kite flying and the CAA permissions process.
