The operation of a drone in the ‘open’ operation category is subject to different conditions as regards the qualification of the pilot, depending on the sub-category (A1, A2, A3). Information on how the Open Categories subcategories are classified is also provided.
For operation in subcategories A1 and A3, only an EU certificate of competence is required. Further information can be found at Registration & Qualification. This certificate will be issued after successfully completing an online training course as well as an online theory test.
