Confusingly, this page implies that you always need Flyer + Operator ID even for <250g drones.

I believe it’s because a UAV is only called a ‘drone’ in these regulations if it’s at least 250g.

I agree the rules are annoyingly confusing and the information is spread piecemeal over multiple documents. They should fix that.
