The EU drone regulation introduced uniform rules across Europe. Whether you need a drone license depends on the weight of your drone, its class (C0–C4) and how you use it. In most cases, the A1/A3 proof of competence is mandatory from 250 g. For more demanding flights close to people, you also need the A2 certificate.
From what weight do I need a drone license?
Drones under 250 g without a camera can usually be flown without a license. As soon as your drone weighs 250 g or more, or has a camera/sensors, you generally need the EU A1/A3 proof of competence — also known as the 'small drone license'.
When is A1/A3 enough?
The A1/A3 certificate is sufficient for most hobby and entry-level flights. It allows flights at a safe distance from people (A3) and, with light drones under 250 g, closer to uninvolved people (A1).
When do I need the A2 license?
The A2 license is required if you want to fly a C2 class drone (up to 4 kg) closer than 30 m — 5 m in slow flight — to uninvolved people. For many professionals and ambitious hobby pilots, this is the right choice.
When do I not need a drone license?
Drones under 250 g without a camera (e.g. pure toy drones) and indoor flights are usually exempt. However, you must register as a UAS operator with your national aviation authority as soon as your drone exceeds 250 g or is equipped with sensors.
Často kladené otázky
Do I need a license for a 249 g drone?
Drones under 250 g without a camera usually don't need a license. As soon as a camera is fitted, additional rules apply — operator registration is mandatory.
Do I need a drone license on holiday within the EU?
Yes. The EU rules apply uniformly across all member states. Your EU drone license is valid throughout the EU.
Is the drone license only mandatory for commercial pilots?
No. The obligation applies to all pilots — hobby and commercial. Drone weight, class and type of use are decisive.
How long is the drone license valid?
The A1/A3 proof of competence is valid for 5 years and can then be renewed.
