Great video, i travel to Italy in July and want to fly my Mavic 3 and Avata will the A1.A3 cover me to fly my drones legally in Italy?
Hey there! Yes! Starting 01/01/2024 there is a new regulation with some additional categories. In this case both the Avata and the Mavic 3 are under 900gr. See as follow:
>>Subcategory: A1 (can also fly in subcategory A3)
>>Operational restrictions:
1. No flight expected over uninvolved people (if it happens, overflight should be minimised);
2. No flight over assemblies of people;
3. Maintain flight altitude below 120m above ground level.
>>Drone operator registration: Yes
>>Remote pilot competence
1. Read carefully the user manual
2. Obtain a ‘Proof of completion for online training’ for A1/A3 ‘open’ subcategory by:
2a. Completing the online training
2b. Passing the online theoretical exam

@@connectionearth thank you, done and obtained thank you so much 👊🏻
@@DroningaboutIreland Enjoy Italy!
@@connectionearth thank you, I am going to Sorrento in July, any advice for flying around that area or any essential places to fly?
www.d-flight.it/web-app/authentication/(authentication:login) This is the official D-Flight for checking the areas where you can flight or not. Only thing is that you need to register and I am not sure you - as a foreigner - can do that. Give a try!@@DroningaboutIreland

Awesome! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Poland!
@@connectionearth thank you. I am going this weekend.
Thank you so much Brother.. I just got my drone license. I’m based in Italy. Your video is very informative
Thanks ☺️
Awesome!
I did exactly the same thing. I live in the UK, so have our CAA CoC and Registration. But as I also spend quite a lot of time in Poland, I did the online test with Luxembourg. Once I had my Certificate of Competency, I sent a copy to the Polish CAA who then issued me with a Polish registration number to display on my drone.
Thank you so much for the video. The video is very informative and I managed to get my certificate within a few hours.
Awesome! Enjoy your flights!
Very informative. Thank you so much.
Awesome, glad you find it helpful!

I just smashed it in about 4-5 h this video was great to let me know where to go
Awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great Video. Very clear and concise. Having completed and received the A1/A3 proof of completion of online training, what is the process to apply to be a Drone Operator and Drone Pilot?
Thanks! Drone operator you need to register in the country of residence or the country you intend to travel. For the pilot, as soon as you complete the training. 🤗
Thank you! I'm just passed my exam! 🎉
Awesome!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎
What did you do to prepare for the test?

Hello! Great video, very informative, thank you! My wife and I live in the United States. We are visiting Italy at the end of the month and just purchased a DJI MINI 4 PRO. According to this video, we only need to register the drone in the US- Do you still recommend we complete the drone pilot license just to be safe? The drone is less than 250 grams. Thanks!
If you arelying your drone in Italy, you need to register the drone on the Italian D-flight portal: www.d-flight.it/new_portal/en/services/registrazione-e-gestione-account/
No need for you to take the pilot license but you should register as a drone operator - see link above. Make sure to have an insurance to cover the drone.
Very informative!! I am traveling to Europe(France, Swiss and Italy) next month, for mini 4 pro, do we still need to register ?
Yes, you should register as a drone operator in the first country where you intend to fly your drone. Better to have an insurance as well if you plan to fly in busy areas. 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers! 🤩
Thank you for this informative video. Do I have to go to/be in Luxembourg if I want to register my drone there? I live in France.
As you live in France you have to register there. I did mine this morning on the French site was easy and took a few minutes
done the course and exam on sunday :D now i only need to buy a drone :P
ahahahah! Have you bought it?
@@connectionearth not yet. Other monetary things of higher importance need to be paid first :)
Ciao @pierroundtheworld ! Thank you for the detailed video :D. I have a few questions. I have a DJI Mini 3, and:
1. I am a resident in Italy and will be registering myself as a drone operator in Italy with ENAC /D-flight. Can I still take the remote pilot competency certificate exam in Luxembourg without facing any problems in italy?
2. I will fly for recreational/fun purpose only. DO i still need a certificate?
3. Any recommendation on where I can take the insurance for Open Category?
Grazie mille
Thanks man! 🎉 see the reply below:
1. No issues if you take the Luxembourg one.
2. Because the Mini 3 is less than 250gr you are not forced to take it but I suggest you to do so to fly with more confidence.
3. I used Coverdrone
Cheers!
Bro I am living in Italy and pass this test now I have same questions like you .because in Italy the official web site EASA TAKING FEE FOR exam so I have doubts about this license is it’s works in Italy ? I have air3 and drove cover insurance for one year
Very nice video. I got my certificate. Can you recommend any insurers? I have a Mavic 3 and I use it for fun. Thanks
Hey there! Thanks! I’m using Coverdrone. Should be working also in Ireland 🇮🇪
@@connectionearth Thanks. I got from coverdrone. I'll use in Spin too. Thanks a lot
Thank you! :) still didn't understand: when I fly my own drone, I'm pilot AND operator. So do I have to register in my residence country? Or can I take the exam in Luxembourg and then register afterwards in Switzerland (where I currently live)?
Thanks 🙏🏻 Yes, you should register yourself as an operator in your country of own residence. I am an Italia operator but I do have a drone pilot from Luxembourg (recognized across all EU). First take the exam, and then become an operator.
Grazie mille for your video. I've been being in Italia 2 times every year and plan to fly a drone next time just for fun with C0 or C1 labelled one.
The biggest barrier is no way to get an insurance.
I can't find any Insurance offer for foreigners who are not ue or canadian, us citizen.
It's not a good idea to fly a drone in abroad without the proper insurance option, even though it's not a mandatory condition.
(afaik, in Italy, it's a mandatory anyway)
I agree man! Always good to have insurance. Have you checked Coverdrone?
@@connectionearth afaik Coverdrone only accepts for UE/CA/AU/NZ citizen, not for any others.
Up to now, I didn't find any solution so I gave up :/
Anyway your video is very helpful and clear, Grazie
Hi @pieroundtheworld, thanks for the video, do you know what happened to the Eurocontrol learning zone? Link does not work and the learning zone (previously training zone) does not seem to be accessible from their site either. Thanks for your answer :)
It seems that the website moved to a new site: learningzone.eurocontrol.int/ilp/customs/Reports/RequestForm/DACAccount
Thank you for the video. Can you please guide on the rules applicable for foreigners? I own a dji mini 2 (
Hey there! Thanks :) www.easa.europa.eu/en/light/topics/travelling-drones here you can find all the info! Let me know if you want to know more
Great video… I have a quick question. I Possibly have a job in the UK inspecting wind turbines can I get my European drone certification while I’m still living in USA?
Good info.
Glad it was helpful!
Pierre. I got my certification with the Luxembourg site. ( same as you)
My question is; once you have it, do you need to register your drone ? In Canada we have to register it with serial number etc…
I’m confused. Hope you can help jerome from canada
Hey Jerome, thanks! Here you will find the answer:
"All drone operations conducted in the EASA Member States must comply with the Drone Regulation, no matter what the nationality of the operator or remote pilot is. Therefore, as a non-EU resident, you are also required to register with the National Aviation Authority of the first EU country where you intend to operate.
You will then be issued with a ‘drone operator registration number’ that needs to be displayed with a sticker on all the drones you own. You must also upload it into the ‘remote identification system’ of your drone(s).
Once registered in the host country, the drone operator’s registration will be valid across Europe and the operator will be required to follow all the provisions of the Drone Regulation."

Brilliant thank you. I watched your video and went to the site you listed . Did the course this afternoon and passed the exam. Now the proud owner of the A1 + A3 certificate. Now need my A2 but Luxembourg bit of a drive for a classroom exam.
Thanks so much! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉
exam is simple and online
In Denmark! Weekend only ned insurences if we live of take photos,,,ifølge its under 250 gram and weekend fly for fun or recreation No need
Hello, I completed the A1/A3 exam on BAZL Swiss, do I need to do the same things on d-light which is from italy? Or I can fly the drone in EU countries by providing my swiss A1/A3 cretificate? thanks
The D-Flight is used only in Italy to register as a drone operator. You should see if this is a requirement for Switzerland. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the informative video. Which website can we find the free online course/ license?
Hey there! You can find the course and the material here: learningzone.eurocontrol.int/ilp/pages/external-dashboard.jsf?menuId=1104&locale=en-GB#/?dashboardId=6
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for information very interesting
Hi, is the drone insurance (for dji mini 2) mandatory or just recommended by the aviation authority?
In Italy is mandatory 👍🏻 depends on the country you will fly your drone. I have mine, from Coverdrone, 100€ per year. I think that for that price is worth to have it.
@@connectionearth Hey, Thanks for the reply. I thought EASA might have a common rule for EU. Guess I'll have to check for Ireland.
Im pilot drone with 11 licenses drone from Europe and two from usa america 👏🙂💪

Question if i may: What if i am not European and Live in Dubai. Where should i register as a pilot to fly my DJI mini 3 pro in Europe?
Hey there here all the info:

In Italy the official web site EASA TAKING FEE FOR exam so I have doubts about this license is it’s works in Italy ? I have air3 and drove cover insurance for one year .i took this exam and passed so again I have to take test for Italy because this one is for Luxembourg .?
This license works across all EU. In Italy you need to pay, while in other counties the same license is for free. 👍🏻
My dji mini 3 pro is 249g (they advertise it as such i suppose)... would i need a license for germany?
You don’t need a license but need to register as an operator and preferably have a insurance👍🏻
7:45 does "whole over the Europe" means acctualy whole Europe or EU only?
Good question, from my understanding EU only. 👍🏻
Hi, I am planning go to Switzerland by the end of this month, I do not live in EU. I will be bringing my Mini which weighs 249g. I am still confused with the registration in uas.cha, i just did the online exam and passed. They provided me with remote pilot number. Is that enough? Thanks, waiting for your reply
Hey there! It should be enough. If you registered as an operator in Switzerland + the exam you are good to go! 🍾 enjoy!
do you have any suggestion for the insurance with EU coverage for non-EU citizens?
Depends on where you reside, but I have used cover drone in the past: www.coverdrone.com/eu/faqs/recreational-faqs/#:~:text=Who%20is%20able%20to%20purchase,Canada%2C%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand.
Thank for the info! One Question. I need to enter the UAS Operator info to obtain the QR Code but it seems to require an spid to validate my documents. I don't have that as I am not an Italian citizen. Do you know how we proceed past that on D-flight?
Hey Kevin, the D-Flight is the portal to become a drone operator in Italy only. If you are looking to become a drone operator in your own country you should follow the National rules.
If you are living in Italy and have a “Codice Fiscale” you might be able to request the SPID (an authentication system).
@@connectionearth I am visiting Italy for a 3 week vacation starting in Sept. Thus I need to have my drone registered along with obtaining the A1-A3 license. After discussions with many (ENAC, D-flight, EASA, and people like yourself) I have finally figured out the process. It took a lot of effort though and your video helped. It seems I need to send in my personal documentation of verification (like DL, Passport, etc.) via email to D-flight registration. Since I am not an Italian Citizen I can't finalize the registration through the portal. Once registered I can then enter my Luxemburg A1-A3 license info along with insurance. Once complete I will fly legally while there. So thanks again!
@@CCLifestyleRealty awesome thanks for sharing this! I will pin your comment for others in a similar situation. 👍🏻✌🏻enjoy your time in Italy! 🇮🇹
@CCLifestyleRealty hi,
Were you able to complete the process??
I'm facing the same issue. I'm not an eu citizen, but even with a valid rp card, I'm unable to register as an operator in my residence country - belgium.
Can u please help me how I can register as an operator ?
@pieroundtheworld thanks for the informative video.I have completed the a1/a3 drone certification
@@sharon1992100 yes. It was simple and easy. I took my trip and of course nobody ever asked for my license but I had it just in case. The difficult part was registering with D-flight for Italy.
Hi I am a non-EU resident. Can I register my drone in the EU countries? I wish to fly my drone in Switzerland.
Is this license certificate valid in Germany , in germany exams costs money. Any references available ?
Yea, it covers all EU. As mentioned in the video, the regulation is one for all the member states.
Thnx 🇱🇰
Anytime!
I have a dji mini 2 and will be coming to italy from India...do I need to register the drone , give the above exam and have a insurance?...and how much time does it take to get the certificate....please help
“If you are a resident of a non-EASA Member State and plan to visit and operate a drone in an EASA Member State, you need to register as a drone operator with the National Aviation Authority of the first EASA state you intend to operate from.
Once you are registered in your host EASA Member State, this will be valid across the rest of EASA Member States. You don’t need to register in another EASA Member State again.
You also need to train and pass the drone pilot’s certificate online exam and get the European certificate in any EASA Member State. Some National Aviation Authorities offer the training and exam in English.
And of course, you need to comply with the European Drone regulations.”

Hi there! I also got my A1/A3 course from Lucemburg 🇱🇺 through this website. In live in another EU country though. How can I have a A2 certificate - only in Luxemburg or also possible to do it in my own country of residence?
Hello thanks!! The A2 needs a practice test and you should do it in your own country. You can also take it in Luxembourg but you need to fly/drive there to take the test in person. Hope this helps!
@@connectionearth Thanks! I got also the same info from the local civil aviation agency, so it is accurate! Cheers!
Can’t access the course, it’s asking what organisation I’m with when I try to create an account?? If I select other then it asks the name of my company ect. Not really sure what to do
I tried to register again using the following:
1. Organization: “Other/Not Listed/Private”
2. Company Name: “Private”
3. Type of organization: “Other”
It worked just fine! Let me know how it goes.
@@connectionearth ok thanks I’ll try that
As a non eu citizen living in Sweden on residence permit card, does this certificate valid for me to fly in Sweden.?
Please answer, because Sweden drone license test is in swedish which i do not know.
Hey Ankit! It should be valid as you have a valid permit. Only question is about the drone operator, for that you should engage the Swedish authority on this matter.
@@connectionearth thank you 😊
OK so I've done the learning zone thing. How do I get the operator ID? THANKS
The operator steps different country by country. It depends of where you live or where you want to fly your drone. 👍🏻
Hey Pier, I am from the United States and want to fly my drone in Italy. I have to register it through D-Flight, but it is asking for my tax payer ID number to register. I don't understand why it is asking for this sensitive information. Do you have any insight?
Hey Patrick, thanks for the message. The D-flight will release you a QR code that you need to stick to the drone. In case of any issue (you damage something, you hit a person etc) the QR code will make your drone identifiable.
I tried changing different browsers and devices but unfortunately when I open the course I get white screen, nothing else
That’s strange Waqled! Have you tried using a VPN?
@@connectionearth thanks bro!
The problem was solved, I got the license in couple of days.
Again, thank you so much!
JazakAllah Khair
