The graphic shows an overview of the rules for flying drones over uninvolved people in Europe. This is not allowed with every drone and is also no trivial offense. To better understand how to read this graphic, here are a few examples.
Example 1
You own a DJI Mini 5 Pro. It has a C0 certification and weighs under 250 g. It falls into subcategory A1 and may fly over uninvolved people.
Example 2
You are just getting started with drones, don’t want to invest much money, and buy a used Mavic 2 Pro. Since it weighs under 4 kg but more than 900 grams, you assume that it can be flown in category A2. Unfortunately, I must inform you that this is not the case. This is a legacy drone that entered the market before 01/01/2024 and therefore did not receive a certification. Non-certified drones fall into category A3, meaning they must also be flown according to A3 regulations.
In summary, uninvolved people may only be overflown in A1 or with a special individual authorization. If you still have questions, we are happy to assist you.
