Description
The EU rules for drones sit in two regulations: (EU) 2019/947 says how you may fly, and (EU) 2019/945 says what the drone itself must comply with. This course walks you through both, so you know which category your operation falls into, what it asks of you as operator or remote pilot, and where to look in the rules when a question comes up.
What the course covers
- The three categories of operation, open, specific and certified, and how to tell which one applies.
- The open category: subcategories A1, A2 and A3, limits, and remote pilot competency.
- The specific category: operational authorisation, standard scenarios, PDRAs and the light UAS operator certificate (LUC).
- Drones as products: class marks C0 to C6, technical requirements and remote identification.
- Operator registration, cross-border operations, UAS geographical zones and oversight by the competent authority.
- A short quiz at the end of each module and a final assessment.
Who it is for
Drone operators and remote pilots who want the whole framework in one place, aviation professionals such as pilots and air traffic controllers who now share the airspace with drones, and anyone starting out in drone operations.

What this course is not
It is not the online training and exam for the A1/A3 or A2 remote pilot certificates, which you take with your national aviation authority. The certificate confirms that you completed this course; it is not a licence, rating or approval. Want to go further?
