@Tim did you mention for DJI drones in particular that DJI actually restricts flight of the drone (they control whether the drone can actually fly or not) based on it's location? The DJI fly-safe website allows you to view where these restricted areas are, and allows you to 'unlock' these zones based on certain criteria.
I think it's been answered already, but do you need to take the equivalent flyer ID in france to fly there? I've already registered on alpha tango. Just got to get the sticker sorted. My insurance is coverdrone, which I'm pretty sure covers the EU.
Rhodes it's self is a CTR so go south West if the island. You're 'supposed' to not fly over historical monuments. Check local no fly rules, some countries have a no fly rule. Generally they tend to be quite relaxed, just be descreet, sensitive and respectful.
Easa is a god idea, same rules for all the countries in Europe...but then every country interprets it differently and it is more and more difficult to understand the difference in every state you go...
Hi Tim. Hope all is well. Im off to Germany in Oct, i recently registered my drone for use in Cyprus which i received my drone ID by just registering my DJi mini 3 pro, does that mean i dont now need to register my drone in germany as both country's are in the EU?
Yes mate that is correct, But I would try and find out if there are neapplications or notifications you have to make. For Kos in Greece, I did have fill in a formm stating the length of time and where I was planning to fly the drone and give my regards number. So just check for Germany.
Hello, Im planning to travel to Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. My first country would be Netherlands so it means I need to register my drone in Netherlands website? and this will work for all the other EU countries I'm travelling?
Hi, you should check the rules of the specific country. With Greece you need to fill a form to show you have EU registration and give dates and location. I entered my hotel and the whole period I was travelling but used the drone in other locations and also used DJI FltSafe for GeoZone unlock when away all without problems.
Same dynamo printer it’s flown a few times no problem with it coming off yet. As a precaution I’ve printed a few extra ones that I take with me in my bag just in case.
@tim i just want to ask, i already had a france operator id and a1 and a3 cert from france and luxembourg..now my question is, my 1st country to enter is greece and i want to fly my drone there..do i still need to apply for cyprus or i can used my france operator id and also i already register my drone in france..is that counted in greece??thanks for the help.
@tim thank you for that info because i was worried and thinking if i will take the cyprus operator id..last question..do i need to buy liability insurance?coz im just a new drone user and the purpose of my drone is recreational..will i purchase insurance just to fly in eu as tourist?
@aldwindeogracias8178 Hi again. No, there's no requirement to have insurance. You only need it for commercial use. A key thing would be to keep the drone well away from people, 1. They'll try and chat to you 2. Privacy challenges. Also, technically don't over fly historical buildings. Which is difficult in Greece. But no one is out to get you, just be respectful and look out for signs that say NO DRONES.
Saw this and as im off to france next month i thought id follow the link The dii mini 3 pro im taking Blimey its as clear as MUD! I gave up after a hour of trying to read French and not understanding what it all means. I got passed the first page but maybe a video IN ENGLISH how to complete would be great..
You could register in any country, so in theory you could register in Ireland and then you're done. Just check there's no other local conditions that'll apply.

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency hi Tim thanks for your reply. It was Spain but we are leaving tomorrow but I would still like to register because we come back every year.

I’ll still pursue it but only when I get home from Wednesday onwards. Once again many thanks for your help.
I'm confused. My insurance said I need to have EASA Operator ID to fly on Cyprus. I had to make a claim and didn't know I needed that. This is what they said. "In respect of the EASA Operator ID, on this occasion insurers note that you were unaware this was required. However, going forward any future claims will require you to provide valid permissions for the respective country that you are flying in and it is the operators responsibility to check this and obtain the necessary permits before flying."
I have a DJI Mini 3 and am planning on flying in Spain, I keep seeing information and also getting feedback from several people that I don't need to register, but then some say I do. Anyone have any information?
Hi, I assume you are a UK resident and not flown in Europe. If yes, you 100% need to have EU registration as I state at 00:16 and attach labe tol your drone otherwise you could have it confiscated. And get a lipo bag for batteries and drain them to 50% or less.
That's excellent ! just registered my drone with the French authorities (using my UK address etc), travelling through the EU in a couple of months time - drone will now be in my luggage.
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency in Germany unfortunately u need and cover drone does not accept address of Israel so no idea how to do that any insurance companies in eu does not register non eu members 😢
I Am last minute going to ibiza and trying to do the easa registrtion online where there is a section NIE/PASPERTO! I do not have an NIE and my passport number still shows this section as red. what to do plz
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency thank it did work eventually. Do you have an idea how long it takes to come through? Is the EASA registration the only thing that is needed to fly in Spain sub 250g. Thanks
Should be quick. Keep an out for and see if can find any local bi-laws. Greece say you can't overfly monuments but you find take-off point away from site etc. Use Drone Assist to check for FRZ. I don't thing DJI geolock will apply or be active any more. Use lipo bag for batteries at less than 50% and take as many as you want. Thanks for your update and fly safe 🫡
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency there was delay due to a name not matching passport but I am registered in the State Aviation Safety Agency now. However the email says registration does not imply does not imply registration in the UAS operator registry. I must go online and sign my registry but it is all confusing as there are 3 options. 1) Operator Registration ( think this I already did) 2) Operational declarations STS-ES/Operational declarations STS-ES (no idea) 3) European STS operational declarations /Operational declarations european STS (no idea again) 4) Recognition of operational declarations European STS (no idea) and 5) LUC (Light UAS Certificate)/LUC (Light UAS Certificate) Not sure which option for sub 250g and cant get of them over phone
National Standard Stages (STS-ES) refers to Training Entities and ES is for spain. That's not you. Not sure but I would try the OPERATOR REGISTRATION first. I think although you now have their operator ID (put it on your drone) I think thus is how it's added into the system. If it doesn't work your only other option the LUC.
thanks for the info, is the insurance really not required? because some other people are saying that it is required? if the insurance is required for DJI MINI pro 3, how and where can i get an insurance as a EU Non-resident to fly my drone in switzerland and italy. Thanks
Hi, you can cross reference, countries do change their rules and you should follow the links I've given to read what they say. But I don't believe for a sub 250g recreational drone flight you'll need insurance. Contact Coverdrone for more info and what's available.
This information is misleading. Yes, these are EASA rules but EASA only serves as a default template which can be overridden by each european country. For example, in Italy drone insurance is mandatory for everyone and max flight height is 70m not 120m for non-commercial flights.
Yes, if you watch the video carefully I clearly say check each individual country for local rules. Also be aware that the rules everywhere constantly change and get updated. Just saying, but thank you for taking the time to comment.Safe flying.
You are right about the rules different in every European country and it is also difficult to find them in every state you go…. But for the max height in Italy you are wrong. No difference for hobby or commercial flight, and the max height is always 120mt if not shown differently by the official d-flight maps.
Brilliant information Tim, I am off to Greece in a few months and this information will be very useful. Saved me a lot of work, much appreciated.
That's brilliant, thanks for letting me know. You must share your videos on our FB page 😉
very good information thank you.

If your drone is sub 250g you don't need EU flyer ID. But check local country rules.
Hi am going to Rhodes, staying near ixia. How restricted is it there to fly? Will I need to fill the form out every time I want to fly it if I can?

Hi!! Thanks for the information. Do you have any Suggestions for insurance as an non European citizenship resident? Greetings
Hi, it's quite a specific thing and just recently my company insurance broker used this one moonrockinsurance.com/
Same question. Most of the insurance providers in Germany cover only EU domicile. I'm a tourist from Asia looking for a Drone insurance for 2 months.

How can i register if fly drone (DJI mini 4 pro) in belgium? and austra?
Hi buddy. If you're going to Belgium first, just ger your EU register there. Once you've done that it will apply to the whole of Europe.
Do you have any advice regarding attaching one's ID onto a DJI Mini 3 Pro? Owing to it's textured surface, I'm finding it very difficult.
I use a dymo printer with clear plastic tape option

No you don't. They're a little ambiguous and suggest it's preferable to do the A2 test, but you absolutely don't.
Just pilot registration, get your pilot number, buy a dynamo and stick it on your drone.
