It’s a class identification label for drones in the open category that will be introduced in Jan 2024 and attest the drone type fulfils with the European safety health and environmental standards

It is a marking the drone must carry and if scanned it can provide the buyer with more information and characteristics about the drone and how to comply with the rules

It’s a class identification label for drones in the open category and it means the drone has passed all the quality checks at the factory, however, is a voluntary option

What is an assembly of people when talking about drones

A group of people that is alien to the drone operation and unable to move away due to the density of the people present if something was to go wrong with the drone.

A group of people watching the drone perform a flight

A group of people interested in information concerning the drone

Once you register as an operator with your national aviation authority you must

Display the registration number in a visible place in the drone / drones you own, or upload it in the remote identification system if the drone has one

Make a note of it in case someone asks

Nothing, the number is only for your reference

Can I fly anywhere I want with a drone?

Yes

Depends on the type of drone

Can I carry goods in my drone in the open category?

What are geozones?

A portion of airspace that facilitates, restricts or excludes UAS operations in order to address risks pertaining to safety, privacy, protection of personal data, security or the environment, arising from drone operations

An area where geographical features on the terrain can impede a proper drone operation

The national airspace for each country

What does flying in VLOS entail?

A type of UAS operation in which, the remote pilot is able to maintain continuous unaided visual contact with the unmanned aircraft, allowing the remote pilot to control the flight path of the unmanned aircraft in relation to other aircraft, people and obstacles for the purpose of avoiding collisions

A type of UAS operation in which, you need to have the drone flying not further than 30 meters away from you

A type of UAS operation in which, you need to have another drone with its camera locked on your drone so you can see it in the monitor at all times

Are cameras the only device a drone can carry?

Yes

It depends on the model

Which of these brands is not a drone manufacturer?

10 years of age with the permission of your parents or legal guardians and with all risk insurance

Air traffic services providers shall...

Establish the coordination procedures and communication facilities between appropriate air traffic service units, U-space service providers and, where applicable, single common information service providers permitting provision of this data

Temporarily limit the area within the designated U-space airspace where UAS operations can take place in order to accommodate short-term changes in manned traffic demand by adjusting the lateral and vertical limits of the U-space airspace

Book as soon as possible a conference ticket for WATMC to obtain detailed information about the Air traffic services

Can bring my drone from an EASA country to another country outside Europe and fly without problems?

Of course, once you have an EASA drone pilot license and a bit of experience you are an accomplished drone pilot and you can fly anywhere in world.

No, you need to comply with the rules in that other non EASA country, no matter how similar they are to the European ones.

Some countries have their own drone rules, but others are happy with an EASA registered operator and licensed pilot. Check their websites

Can I carry drone batteries in the cabin with you on board a flight?

Indeed you can. The knowledge is pretty much the same!

Depends whether is homologated to drones. This is different in every EASA state

No. A PPL license is totally different to a drone pilot license in any EASA state you consider. You still need to pass a different exam for both

Are there drone schools where I can learn to fly a drone, learn the theory and do the exam with?

Yes, it is compulsory to go to one

They are in some EASA countries. But in others you can learn the theory and pass the exam online following the link at your National Aviation Authority
