I got the A1-A3 and A2 drone license.
(and I’m not stopping there…)
Got around to doing the second part, going for the A2, and if you are thinking of getting your drone training and license, take a look here:
https://www.dronelicense.eu/
Very good and effective training material, allowing you to work at your own pace, and most importantly,
get there, and get properly licensed across EU.
- It’s formal,
- It’s real,
- It’s official.
- It’s valid across all of EU.
(please note that you will need to register as a pilot in at least one EU country, and some require individual national registrations)
Ok, ok… so what are the rules?!
You can effectively sum it up as:
- A1: fly over people but not over assemblies of people
- A2: fly close to people
- A3: fly far from people (heavyweight drones are limiting this)
This is a EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) summary of drone classes and rules.
