The complainant submitted a two part request to the Civil Aviation Authority (the CAA) for various information in respect of drones and Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ's). The CAA informed the complainant that it did not hold relevant information in respect of item one of the request and cited section 44(2) (prohibitions on disclosure) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held relevant information in relation to data on false positive detections of drones posing a threat (item two). The Commissioner's decision is that the CAA has failed to demonstrate that it has identified all relevant information falling within the scope of item one of the request, or that section 44(2) applies to any information it potentially holds in relation to item two of the request. The Commissioner requires the CAA to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Conduct a further search of its records in relation to item one of the request to confirm what information it holds. Confirm or deny to the complainant whether it holds information relevant to item two of the request, and if relevant, either cite a valid exemption or provide the information to the complainant.
