Following an extensive 12 month process, MRL Limited became the first commercial organisation in the UK to be approved to operate the MRL Eye by the Civil Aviation Authority (CCA). The CAA, who is responsible for overseeing aviation standards and safety across the UK, awarded the license after MRL Limited submitted an extensive safety management case to prove the company, and its pilots, are safe and competent to fly.

‘This is terrific news’ said Phil Storr Director at MRL Limited. ‘This is a significant achievement for the team who have been working on this for sometime – so it’s well done to all’ The MRL Eye is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which is used to complete surveillance and surveys in remote, dangerous and difficult to reach locations.
