This course covers the training of a pilot wishing to fly in the EU Open Category A1 & A3. Fly for fun, commercial or other aerial purposes. Obtain the A1 / A3 course completion certificate.
This lesson is a series of short videos describing the Do and Do Nots of the EU Regulation on the requirements of the Open subcategories A1 & A3.
Subcategory A1: Your drones weigh less than 500g or are labeled C0. Fly very close to people under 120 meters and in sparsely populated and residential areas.
Subcategory A3: Your drone weighs between 500g and 25kgs or is labeled C2, C3, or C4. Fly 150 meters from residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational areas below 120 meters *
* The A3 is very restrictive! Try the Open A2 course if your drone weighs 500g to <2kg or is labeled C2 and remove this restriction.
