I'm in Canada and I own a DJI AIR3S. I have passed both the Canadian basic and advanced exam. I also passed the FAA US TRUST exam and the UK A1& A3 exam. I'm interested in passing the A2 exam as I want to fly my drone in the UK. Everyone online wants to sell you a course. I don't want a course as I can study on my own. Where do I find the A2 exam online?
Not sure you can. It might be because there is an element in it where you do a practical test, but in reality you don't do it with anyone, you just state you've done it. It is only £69 with UAVHUB. Another option is don't do it, join a club like FPVUK and then you're covered under Article 16. This means you can fly in parks effectively in A1 category as a 250g drone. But it's just parks recreationaly.
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency An AIR-3S has a take-off weight of 724g. AFAIK, the A1 does not apply A3 maybe but not sure??? I've passes the A1 & A3 exam and have the certificate. Can I fly my Air-3S legally in the UK? Nobody should fly over a crowd regardless of drone size. Nor should you fly near controlled airspace or fly higher than 400ft AGL as to not endanger manned aircrafts. Know your emergency procedures and who to contact in such an event. What's not to understand? Why are the UK rules so damn complicated for recreational pilots?
@DarR1299 Hi, just to be clear, without the A2cofc you can fly in A3 and keep 150m from people, obviously that's bloody useless. Article 16 that I mentioned was negotiated by traditional model aircraft flying clubs. So for you and me it's a little loop whole. It doesn't negate you from flying safely and the risk assessment etc. The other advantage is it comes with insurance and all for about £25. To answer your last point, it's so complicated cos we left the EU a nd wanted our own rules, and then had cross over dates, then changed them and so on. So yes, it's a nightmare for people to get there head round which is why I make the videos to try and help.
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency Thanks for that. However, what a mess! 150m horizontally from people is pretty draconian. Here in Canada, it's 30 m for a basic licensed pilot and 5m for an advanced licensed pilot. Under no circumstance do you fly over bystanders unless you have obtained a Special Flight Operation Certificate prior to (which is reasonable).
Agree with @slipstreamcreativeagency. You should not fly a drone indoors with people around. Your best option would be a stationary camera that can track a subject, or a camera operated by a person. For OUDOOR events, a Mini 3/4 or one of the newer Air drones would work well, as long as you follow the relevant rules and carry an A2 CofC for the larger drone.
I have a question. If i have a sub 250g drone operating in a1 airspace , can i fly commercially with that drone if so what insurance would i need for a sub 250g to fly commercially in in a1 airspace
C1 is irrelevant in UK. We haven't adopted European regs. It's over 250g so not A1 but A2 Open Category. Top tip, join FPVUK and fly under Article 16 rules, which means you can fly in a park as you would a sub 250g drone.
So you can fly Air 3 in the A3 category and fly 150m from people. If you take the A2 cofc you can fly 50m from people horizontally, no overlying of people. If your a hobbyist in UK join FPVUK and fly your Air 3 in A1 cat in parks.
Thank I’ve bin looking for this
Amazing. I'm glad it's helping
As of January this year in the uk, the air 3 is allowed to fly in the open category.
It's always been in the Open Cat but in A3 or A2 if you have done A2cofc. You can't use it in A1 cat unless you join a club and fly Article 16 rules
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency totally disagree.

OK I'm moving to Canada
What drone do you recommend for taking some photographic and videos inside church services and events ? Thank you for these tutorials !
Definitely don't fly a drone indoors with people near. Put a camera on a cable that tracks back and forth.

Go to moonrock, coverdrone or join fpvuk
CoverDrone are a good option for insurance with very reasonable pricing structures. (Annual, Day(s), Month only/rolling)
Is the Air 3 not a C1 classified drone, so the training would make no difference to permitted usage?

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency The Air 3 weight doesn't necessarily enter the A2 subcategory by default though right? only if you fly near to people?

Thanks i started my training with Copterz 2023 benefits you register study free and pay £86 for the exam. Will take my GVC with UAV HUB
Agree. Definitely use UAVHUB. Just completed mine with them.
