Network operator checks

A · Legal & safe flight

✕CAA Operational Authorisation. OA GBR-OA-2026-33333 is Open-category but a BVLOS operation requires Specific or Certified category.
✕Third-party liability insurance. No insurance policy reference supplied.
✓Airspace clearance. Clear of restricted airspace (nearest: London Heathrow (LHR) FRZ, 36 km away).

B · Legitimate network subscriber

✓Aircraft ID & approved radio equipment. Mini (ID GBR-OP-9), class C1, 0.9 kg, approved cellular module.
✕Vodafone SIM, account & aerial plan. SIM is on a "Consumer (ground)" plan, which does not permit aerial use. Move to an aerial-permitted product/APN.

C · Protection of the ground network

✓Within Vodafone UK coverage footprint. Reading is within the UK coverage footprint.
✓Altitude vs supported aerial ceiling. Max 120 m AGL is within the supported 120 m aerial ceiling.
✓Cell load in operating area. Operating area is not in a known high network-load zone.
✕Command-and-control link redundancy. BVLOS operation with no declared fallback C2 link. Best-effort cellular alone is not acceptable as the sole command-and-control path.
✓Network terms of use accepted. Operator accepts the network terms (no harmful interference, best-effort QoS, revocation rights).
