Thanks for this just what I have been looking for as thinking of flying in Cyprus and Menorca with my Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro .... As always superb content from you young man cheers Hieth
@@alwaystravelling100if you search back Sean has another video with more detail. You use the site on this video. The trick is to do the free A1/A3 ticket through Luxembourg and then the operator ID equivalent in Ireland.
Going to Greece this summer but won't be taking my drone (mini3Pro). You have to submit a flight plan including a map of the flight area for EVERY flight and once approved you have to take proof of the approval to a police station before you fly, even for a sub 250g drone. Totally OTT and impractical so I'm very disappointed :(
That's exactly what I did. I did my EASA Flyer ID via Luxembourg, and as I mostly fly in Poland, I applied to the Polish CAA to convert my Luxembourg certificate to be primarily valid in Poland to get a Polish operator ID.
@@malcolmberesford3323 didn't get all the legal stuff done. I still brought it. Kids and I used the GoPro mostly for the simplicity. But I had to try it once and got the 1 min clip of the hotel and rise up to spin around and catch the amazing beach we were next to. It was a success to just learn it takes more planning and effort. And with small kids it's complicated. My wife was supportive and we will plan better for the next adventure. I'm playing with editing the one clip with GoPro and phone footage now. Enjoy
Just for interest, I was previously registered in Ireland, but they wanted something like 30-euro for a year's re-registration this year. So instead I registered in France, an d it was dead easy, and free.
Thank you Sir. Is there any news when the CAA will finally organise that party in a brewery, for the labelling system 😁 I'm wondering about buying the Mavic 3 Pro and how that might be affected in time, for the UK and also Europe.
Hey!! Hi Sir! That's a really good explanation about it. Thanks for the video! I'm flying a Mini 3 Pro in quite some countries while I'm travelling, and I did my registration via Luxembourg. So far so good.
@@Quasar_airborne Hi, Last year when I was in Europe I found out that Luxembourg does not permit a drone with a camera like the DJI to be flown there. Bad luck for me.
Thanks Sean. That’s really useful. I registered in the Alpha Tango (French) website back in 2021 from Spain. It has an excellent English version. I fly a lot in Greece with a mixture of Air 2S and a Mini 3 pro. Never a problem, excellent images.
I flew in Santorini last year with a mini3pro, lovely experience, though in Fira Port, a captain of a tourist ship shouted over claiming I had no authority to fly (wrong, I'd cleared all flight paths with the equiv to CAA, and nothing on local app maps, airports showed up ok in same). Landed anyways just to keep the peace. Problem in other areas was it DJI refused to take off as it would have exceeded the 120m limit, even though that was the ground level at that place (it's a VERY high island) and i wasn't skilled enough to find a ay to disable that setting, (if there is one!) good luck all
Thanks! I was able to register to fly in Norway. I just use sub 250g drones nowadays the quality is better than my original mavic pro was anyway. I would like the more telephoto lens option but a heavier drone just isn't worth it with so much more freedom with a smaller drone. I can't wait until we get a 70mm + equivalent on a mini sized drone and a pocket style gimbal device too.
As suggested, I looked at registering in Luxembourg. Although reg seems free, it seems necessary to provide a current 3rd party insurance policy number in the application, which I don't have and would only get just before confirming if / when I will actually be flying there. So... I'm stuck proceeding with reg in Luxembourg. Pity.
Thanks for the very informative video. Just a question....for sub 250g drones like the Mini 3 Pro, is insurance still required before you can fly it in Italy for example? or Switzerland?
In the video you suggested using Luxemburg as the place fir registration. The link to training on their website has been shut down due to a hack of the system. What other country do you suggest for the online training and registration that is provided in English for those of us who are nor multi-lingual. As a Mini 3 pro owner I understand I need to be registered operator.
I'm traveling to Portugal from the US. I plan to bring the Mini 3 Pro and maybe an FPV drone. How long does it take to process the applications for the proper registration and training certificate?
so the online examination for the A1A3 from Luxembourg is good enough to not have to apply as a UAS operator in another country? I tried to register in Luxembourg and it says you have to be a resident or have a business there. Tried registering in Italy & it says there is an error when I try to create my account (I think it didn't like that I don't have an italian tax id). HELP!
Hi. I live in Spain and have the mini 3 pro. I'm completely lost as to know how to do any of this. Do i need insurance? Can i travel with it in hand luggage or just the hold? do i need to have the registration number in my drone? I could do with some help here. Thanks!
Im going to spain in Oct with mini 3 pro , under 25kg,i need to regestion in Spain before flyingy drone,if you have information from your country,please let me know ,thx a lot！
Might be a bit late, I think each country has their own preference on whether you're insured or not, Italy requires it for all types of drone flight, even
to start with the last question: I use a mavic air and since a few months also a mini 3. Since flying in Germany, where I live, is not always easy (people publish the content of their diapers on social media but tend to cry "privacy" as soon as they see a camera or drone!), I mostly fly in Sweden where people seem to be more relaxed. I prefer to fly early in the morning or later in the evening, since you have "softer" light. If there are people around the area I want to take of from, I mostly approach them, tell them that I intend to fly, checked the legality of the location and, if the are nterested, show them the maps. I also have cards with contact details and offer them a copy of the footage if they send me an email. Since flying my drone(s) now for six years, I only once had someone "complaining", but that was more about the sound that would "disturb the filmcrew in the castle..." I took his complain, got the drone back in and returned the next morning (with much better weather) and got the shots I wanted. If people approach me while flying, I tell them to wait untill I have safely landed the drone and so I have time and attention for them. Taking this five or ten minutes to explain the hobby, show some footage and maybe even show some direct flights takes away the concerns with most people, specially when they realize that from 120 meters above ground, you hardly recognize who is who on the ground (except me, caus I wear a blue high-visible cover while operating).
Hi there - I am looking to take my drone to Sweden this summer and would love to get some help to ensure I get all the pre planning right :) I'm based in the UK, and have my A2CofC and GVC certificate which I took here in the UK earlier this year. I'm planning on getting a DJI Mini 3 in Sweden (price difference), and fly it to film my friend's boat on the coast (in permitted areas ofc). The drone will be insured. I have my Flyer ID, and my Operator ID (and this will be stickered to the drone too), both obtained in the UK. I'm Danish so I have a Danish passport, so I am wondering this - do I need to do any additional registering under EASA to fly in Sweden / Norway / Denmark ? And am I bound to register with Denmark, even though I plan to fly in Sweden first? Or shall I instead register in Sweden? Or do I not need to do any additional registering? Thanks so much in advance! :)
@@wildandabout Good Evening (morning, afternoon, what ever is approriat) Since the rules in europe changed, it has become easier. I suppose that you are register as operator and the operator ID is on the drone. Like in the UK, there are flightrestrictions in areas around airports, prisons, nuclear plants etc, as well as natur reservats. RIght now, I am not in my office, but I will post here some lnks that are important. First, to the general dronemaps, showing the permanent restrictions put in place by the aircontroling authorities (LFV), then a link to the LFV where you can find NOTAM messages, which are not shown on the general maps. And finally two links to the lantmäteriet. In the first link you can see the maps of Sweden, zoom in and check if there is any naturreservat in the area you want to fly. IF so, you cannot fly there. The second one os important if you intend to publish your footage. You do not need permission to get the footage, but BEFORE you release it, you have to present the unedited version of the footage to get the permission to publish. The proces is simple, takes only a few days and is free of charge. In the past five years, I have sent them almost 1TB on footage and never had any restrictions for publication. Don't think thes don't find out that you publish without permission, I know ofat least two cases where people got a friendliy letter to let them know, that they violated the law with the included request, to submit the footage for release.
I am in the USA. I am a Part 107 Remote Commercial Pilot. I am going to visit Greece next month. If I understand correctly, I need to take a A1, A3 in order to fly my DJI Air 3 there. Can you recommend a legitimate course in Greece( in English) that I may take? Thanks!
Wish you did this video a week ago Just got my registration. Initially tried on Spanish EASA, could not get it to work, taking advice from Darren of DM Productions, managed to get registered with the Ireland EASA, although there was a 30€ charge As a hobbyist should I get insurance. Going to Majorca next week with Mini3 pro
@bryanstoneman842 I'm taking my DJi Mini 2 Se to Portugal and Mallorca next month. I have registered from the Ireland website? Do you know how long it takes for registration to process. And I already passed A1 and A3 certificate from Luxembourg. Is this enough for me to try my drone in those countries. As I found Portugal and Spanish website more complex to register as I'm from UK. Thank you.
@bryanstoneman842 thank you for your quick response as I was worried if I wouldn't be able to use my drone on holiday for recreation use. I would suggest reading the chapter if you are at the beginner stage. Questions were not easy or hard. But it' s very frustrating to review your answer if you fail. But the good thing is you can take unlimited tries to make sure you pass. It took me like 5 hours to pass as I skipped through manual reading and went for exams as you don't know which question you got wrong and you don't know the right answer. Make sure you have half a day to complete the test as it can be time consuming if you are getting the question not correct.
Your videos are the clearest. We are going to Sicily, I’ve had to pay some euros to follow Italian operator registration. I’ll head over and take the EASA test now. So cert, op I’d, then copy of driving licences think I am compliant. I have noticed lots of restricted space above some towns that appear to be not safety related which is interesting.
@@mikebrunophoto I didn’t find it to bad. It was last year, they do have equivalent of NOTAMs on many towns. Just make sure you use there app so you know where can and can’t fly. It’s called: D-flight
I got a DJI Avata as a gift and now trying to get permission to fly it in Germany I've done the A1-A3 Certification and the A2 certification, get drone insurance and now have to register with the Ministry of Aviation and a long list of documents and then wait on an official Drone User Certification... its such a drag...
It is chaos at the moment. It is supposed to be the same rules across EASA member states, but so many countries have implemented their own requirements on top. I hope you get flying in Germany. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi Sean, just a quick question if I may as I can't seem to find a definitive answer. The rules state that you should register in the country that you intend to fly first. However, what if plans change? I am going to Northern Ireland this weekend (so can use my CAA details) but might pop over the border to Ireland. If I register there, what happens if I don't cross the border and end up flying in say France next year as my first place?
Hey Steve! The way the actual legislation is worded helps us. It states you should register in the first country you 'intend' to fly in but there is no insistence. This helps in a number of circumstances including your own. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for your help and information on this, I've just bought a new potensic atom and I want to take it away with me on a bike touring holiday in tenerife, I registered on the French site which was pretty easy with a few hiccups in that tho mainly in English there are parts in French like what nationality you are and country of residence, but I now have a operator number😊 many thanks 👍🏻
No problem, thanks for the kind feedback. Thanks as well for all the interaction on the channel across the different videos, we read every comment and appreciate it!
Great video but when I try to register for an operator license in Luxenberg or Denmark, they all require an ID from that country to start the process. How did you as a UK citizen get around this? I am a US citizen.
Hi great information but still a little confused I’m going to Kos in Greece in September I have a DJI Mini 3 I have my Operator ID and Flyer ID what’s the exact steps I need to go through to fly within there laws many thanks Alan
Hi @geeksvana, this is a useful and succinct video, but I’m still struggling to work out what to do. You mention a longer video to be linked in description but I can’t see one? Thanks
Hi Sean . Just wondering if you could answer a question for me re flying in the EU ? . I have registered both my aircraft and passed their online examination but as a hobbyist flyer do I have to register as a UAS operator as well ? I am travelling to France with my aircraft for the first time. Any help would be much appreciated.
With both the drone registration number on your drone and the A1/A3 certificate passed, you are good to go. Nothing further needed for the basic levels.
Remote ID is not currently in use in France. The way the registration works is the aircraft ID and the A1/A3 cert is the registration. So you are covered.
Hi I registered as a drone operator in 🇳🇴 Norway but didn't visit. I have my Norway drone operator license. Now i plan on going Italy I have registered with D flight just to view the maps not paid anything extra. I have public liability insurance. I will be using a dji mini 4 pro drone According to your video & stuff ive read online as i have already registered in Norway i need not re-register in Italy?
Hi! That is correct. You only need to register in one EASA member state. That should be the first country you 'intend' to fly in. But that can, of course, change. I did the same when registering in Ireland and flying in France. Hope this helps.
So i have a LBA registration for my drone, and my question is does that work for all countries in EU on only in germany because i want to visite Italy and im just confused
Hi! You only need to register once in any of the EASA member states. It is advisable to check on local stipulations and requirements as well. There is a link to do that in the description of this video.
Thanks for the very clear information Sean. Can anyone answer the question regarding insurance regulations? If we're operating a sub 250 drone is insurance required in the EU?...or is some of the information misleading and just trying to sell you a policy where none is needed. Many thanks!
Overall you are not required under EASA regs. However, some countries insist on at least third-party coverage and others 'expect' it. My recommendation is to get some third party insurance to cover yourself. I would recommend something like FPVUK. You get a lot of member benefits and a great insurance policy which is valid in the EU for around £20 for the year. Hope this helps.
Going to Greece next week, and have been trying for days to find a form I can fill in to register as an operator. Found forms but not you can actually fill in, which is necessary if I what to email it to the Greek authorities. Information on TH-cam is confusing. I’ve got a Mini 3 pro, and some people say you need insurance, others say you don’t, it’s got to the point where it’s not worth the stress. I’ll leave the drone at home and try and sort it out over winter before next years trip.
I registered and passed my EASA Drone exam in the France site Alpha-Tango. I am also planning to go to Italy. Will the France documentation be valid in Italy as well??. Thanks you. Also what is the recommended App to use to determine whether you can fly in a particular area in Europe??
I only want to fly my mini 3 pro in Mallorca ie Spain. The easa site for Luxembourg indicates that I do not need to register with mu sub 250g drone. I am confused. can you help. I have a UK Operator ID of course.
Hi Sean, I have an interesting question. I'm planning a trip to Switzerland in the summer so have both a Swiss issue EU Op ID and Flyer ID, no problem. I am just scanning Drone Assist for FRZs, some require authorisation to fly in and have a phone number listed so no problem there, but some also state "This peice of airspace is in effect above xxxft AGL" or "This peice of airspace is in effect above surface". So for those with an AGL specified, is it OK to fly below xxxft without authorisation and those "above surface" is it OK to fly below surface, within a gorge for example? Sorry for the long question, but any thoughts would be great.
Still a bit lost😂 i have a Mavic mini & are travelling to Cyprus in October, I have my UK flyer & operator ID, what exactly do I need to use the drone in Cyprus🤔
Hi Sean thanks for that. I am easa registered in Ireland but I intend to take the drone to Norway. I have seen videos which say the require sub 250g drones such as the mini 3 pro to have public liability insurance with significant fines for not having this of up to 1200euro. Apparently the insurance costs about 150 euro. Do you know if this is the case there or anywhere else?
I'm thinking of taking my drone to Europe. I know I need to register with the National Aviation Authority (NAA). EASA also state "Your registration number issued by the NAA must be displayed with a sticker on all of your drones and then upload it into the ‘Remote Identification System’ of your drone.". My question is, how and where is the ‘Remote Identification System’ on a Mini 3 pro? Thanks in advance
Im trying to learn EU regulations for US group with mixed EU and US recreational flyers. So ill check out your link. Do you have other recommendations?
Hey, thank you for all the tips. Incase I would like to fly in a residential area or a danger zone area. Do I need to apply for any permit? If yes, any idea were can I apply? P.S. I live in Germany and have my flying license and insurance.
Hey Tom! Unfortunately, the UK A2 CofC is not valid in the EU/EASA area. You will need to retake the certificate with a training company in the EASA area.
@@Geeksvana 🙄 do you think playing dumb in case of being approached by police and saying “I thought UK A2 CofC is valid here as it is basically the same thing “ could work ? To be honest I been in Greek island Zakynthos/Zante and I flew my drone quite a lot without registration, courses etc as I wasn’t aware of all this bs, no problems at all. Now the more legal I want to be before my next holiday the more stressful this becomes, doing same qualifications here and abroad is just ridiculous. Maybe is better still not even register anything once my new drone arrives…
noobe drone here..i’m retired in the uk, and planning on relocating to the eu..i just bought a drone for beginner/practice, it’s under 250gm with camera, fir recreation..im a little confused about this A1-3 registration..
So for example I can register my drone for Luxembourg as suggested and then use my drone in Greece? Does anyone expect evidence of me actually going to visit Luxembourg?
That is correct, and how I also handled it. The legislation only states that it should be the first place you expect to fly, rather than the actual one. Nobody will check this point because of this.
Helpful video, thank you. I did the course and exam on the LUX site, as you mention, which gained me the EASA Flyer ID certificate. But blowed if I can find the right form on their website to get an operator ID, You can either apply as a 'natural person' which turns out the be Lux citizens only, or as a 'legal person' where the form expects you to be filling in details of a firm that you work for. I don't work for anyone. Really stuck. Can you help please?
Hey! The easiest place to gain the Op ID from for the EU is Ireland. In English, of course, and one of the cheapest. Let me know if you have any issues.
@Geeksvana hi, I tried in the Ireland portal but, I got only the IAA portal registration and the training but I don't see any option to get the operator ID
@@wholness3672 thanks for responding. Maybe I'm doing soemthing wrong, I was able to register in the portal, that was not complicated, I got my IAA- identificator and also I took the training and got the certificate. But I still don't see the operator id, as far as I know the IAA- code, is not the operator id.
Thank you soooooo much, you saved me 30 USD :) took the free A1+A3 at luxemburg, took about a hour :) - totaly free, have you any recomendations where to get cheapest and fastest A2 license?
Good evening & thanks for the info, much appreciated. I hope you can guide me in the right direction as I’m a bit confused. I’m hoping to buy the DJI mini 3 pro shortly. I’ll be travelling to Norway in September where I’m hoping to use it there. I reside in Gibraltar & as it stands we are still out from Europe due to brexit. I’ll appreciate your time if you could please advise me on where I can register my drone, get the pilots & operator’s ID & from where I could obtain an insurance for my drone, thanks.
Hey Brian! Norway are part of EASA. There is a single page on the EASA website showing the registration links etc for each member nation. If you watch this video and following the link in the description, it should help you... th-cam.com/video/ahz-NdmEzBc/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I've ordered my drone & should be here shortly. However, I'm trying to register in Norway, to no avail as my Country (Gibraltar) is not listed on their scroll down list, I've tried as well Spain & Luxembourg & again to no avail as it doesn't lead to anywhere except to loads of explanations, but not to the appropriate application form. Please, can anyone advise with an appropriate link where I can register as an operator & take the appropriate training, please, thanks.
Hi! I'm considering buying the DJI mini 3 pro because I want to fly the drone in Italy next year. If I got the ID from other EU country, will it be usable in Italy in 2024?
We are taking a cruise via Celebrity which will take us from Barcelona, France, Italy and back to Barcelona. I found it difficult to register me and my drone in Spain due to some technical and language issues so I registered me and my drone(Dji Mini 4 Pro) in France( alpha Tango). I have the ff: registration numbers: Me as the pilot, my drone's and my A1/A3 certification #, Should I affix all thre numbers? Any advice will be much appreciated. Thnx!
New subscriber, love your channel. I'm planning on taking my Mini 3 Pro to Europe from the US starting in Italy. It's a 2023 model, so does that make it a legacy drone and negates the advantages of being sub 250 grams? Also not able to register online with Italy. Going onto Austria for a few days. Appreciate any advice.
Wen I went to the site you recommend to register the Drone the country of Greece has a TBD to be determined and would not allow the registration of my drone. Greece is the only country I will be visiting. What are my options? I will be flying a DJI Mavic M ini 3 Pro
Can you fly an air 2s in Mallorca, I did do my easa a1/a3 is this possible or do I have to do something else. Also says I need liability insurance where would I get that from? Tia
Thanks for the info. Trying to register but don't understand the Tax number required. So, I keep getting the registration blocked. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance
If I am already licensed by the FAA, how do I move forward with this. Most of the countries are asking you to take a flight schools test. I am traveling to Europe this summer and I want to take my mini 2 (travel drone) with me.
Great video, explains it well. I thought it was in the 'too hard to do basket'. Seems if I register in Ireland, as going there on my way to Spain... and take the UK drone pilot course... I should be OK flying in remote villages throughout Spain where there are no flying restrictions that I can see on an app on my phone? Is that right? Planning on getting a DJI mini 4 pro as it has built-in ' won't crash' apparently which is a good idea I think as I have never flown anything before apart from Ryan Air! I will be visiting many remote villages, making a TH-cam series on " Can I work remotely in X" throughout remote Spain, so having drone footage of these villages will be key for the B role etc. I don't need to worry about Madrid, Barcelona and any big cities as not reviewing any town with more than 20,000 inhabitants. If that sounds like a plan be great to know if you agree or not before I invest in a drone and have it taken off me on day one :)
thanks for the video, I'm trying to register in to fly in spain however on the form I'm unable to find english, british or UK nationality so im unable to fill it out has anyone else experienced this??
@Geeksvana Hi mate, I live in Northern Ireland and intend to buy a drone next week for use in different EU countries (travelling only). What’s the simplest next step for me to do? I hope to use it in Spain in April
Hi, I am from Dubai and I will be visiting Italy on Oct. This yr. For vacation. Can I bring my DJI mini 2 with me? Can I fly it there? Do I need to register it? My point of entry will be Rome. Hope you can guide me. Thanks....
Thanks sean just watched your vid thanks it was clear and well put together guide i took the test in Luxembourg how do you go about obtaining a flyer id as i would love to take my air 3 to Cyprus Many thanks
I'm struggling to understand how to register to take my mini 3 pro to Majorca. I've looked at the Rep of Ireland, Spanish and Luxembourg versions and i cannot fathom what I'm supposed to do. I'm probably being really dumb but its just one link after another. I think ill have to resign myself to not taking my drone out of the UK. What a shame. Good video none the less.
Hi! My personal advice would be register with IAA (Ireland) as their process is in English. It takes a couple of days to setup the account, as they verify your identity. Then take the A1/A3 course with Luxembourg as it is in English and free. Any issues, send me an email to sean@geeksvana.com, and I can send you the specific links to the pages and talk you through anything. Let's get you flying in the EU! It's fun and a lot more to capture than the UK 😂.
@@Geeksvana thank you very much for responding so quickly. I will take a look at the Ireland version again. I have previously managed to get my UK operator id and flyer id, so I’m not completely useless 😂
@@Geeksvana good evening, it’s me again 🤦♂️. I’m currently registering on the Irish site. Do I need insurance to fly mini 3 pro in EU? It’s asking me if I have insurance but I currently don’t. Any ideas? Sorry about all these questions.
@weaselinjeans1 no problem with the questions at all! It isn't 100% required but 'expected'. Best route I find is FPVUK. For £25 for the year, they even cover you for commercial flights! They give EU cover included.
Great video - Just recently got a mini 4 pro a few months ago - I thought it would be ok to fly in the EU with a sub 250g drone without having to go through another test - I have a flyer iD for the UK so do I still need to do the EU test to fly in the EU ?
Hi. I am traveling to Netherlands, Belgium and France from the UK on a motorbike trip and want to fly my drone which is a DJI mini 4 pro. Can you advise what I need to do this legally and supply me with the appropriate links. The one on the link here does not appear to have any option for a non EU resident.
I, go to Tenerife about 3- 4 times per year. I’d love to take my Mini 3 Pro with me, but,, I downloaded the Enaire app ( Spanish equivalent of Altitude Angel) Seems vast swathes of the island are no fly areas. Also their rules are a lot more strict than they are here in the U.K. No flying over businesses, people etc. It seems anything that’s either fixed to the ground, or free to move, you can’t fly over them. So for now, I’m not bothering.
In Portugal the register process is next to impossible unless you are a resident. They want you to do it legally but make it next to impossible to do so!!
Hey I need help. I just got my DJi mini 2 se. And I have got my flyer ID and operation ID in the UK and passed the A1 and A3 test. I'm flying to Portugal and Mallorca next month. Trying to register my drone but it's a very complex process. Can I register my drone in Ireland and use it in any EU country? Please advise as I'm very short on time. Thank you
Hey! Best thing to do would be to register in Ireland. Even though it is recommended you register in first EASA country of use, it is not insisted on. Most people do the same, including me! Let me know if you need anything else.
@@Geeksvana Thank you for the help. I have just registered on the website and it states 3-10 days for the application to be reviewed. Do you know how long the whole process took for you as in timescale. Thank you so much.
Hi i just want to ask if i can use my france uas operator registration no. As a operator id for my trip in europe or should i still register for a drone operator to another country like cyprus?thank u for the help.
Hello i am traveling to italy from Uae and i was trying to register as operator but its asking for C.F/CIF/T.I.N but i dont have what should i fill in this?
Hello, Thank you for this information. I am a US citizen and will be traveling throughout Spain for most of September. I went through the process of getting registered as a drone operator and received a UAS operator registration #. I use a DJI mini 3 pro that is less than 250g. It seems that I can fly under the open A1 category. As I look at the maps it seems as though there are many areas that say the flight of RPAS is prohibited. I am unfamiliar with this terminology. It seems that I will be required to purchase insurance, which I will do, but I don't know if I will have an opportunity to familiarize the A1-A3 requirements to the point of taking an exam. am I able to do things such as put my Mini 3 pro up in Barcelona to take a photo of La Sagrada Famiglia inside of a zone that says flight of RPAS is prohibited? Thanks again!
@Geeksvana Hi, thanks for your video. I'm wondering if I can register as an Drone Operator in one EASA Member Country and get the Flyer ID (Pilot Certificate A1/A3) in another EASA Member Country? Also, once I obtain the Pilot Certificate A1/A3 in, let's say Luxemburg, do I have to stick with Luxemburg if later on I want to obtain the A2 Certificate? Thanks!
Great questions! They are also topics I came across myself. So... 1. Yes, you can register in on EASA and take the A1/A3 in another. (Personally, I registered in Ireland and took the Luxembourg test. 2. You can take the A2 course and pass it with a company in any member state, unrestricted by where you are registered or took the A1/A3 test with. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Can I fly Mavic Mini in ESA zone , coming from India, 1st country visit Italy, subsequently Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Czech Republic I have registered in Luxembourg
Hi there I'm new to the hobby? But I like it I've registered with caa and took test 40 questions? I ordered a caa card on ebay gave them both id and op numbers it has came now but only the id number and not my op number? Does the id sticker mean that I can fly cuz they never put op number on card. Thankyou look forward to ur reply thanks shaun my name too lol.
Just tried to go to the Luxembourg site to register and its a nightmare...... am i missing something? there is no link to get to the correct form? the only link i can find says you need an ID verification to join their forms from another country and it doesnt list England. Can someone advise on how how you navigate this site?
@@MotoLondon-ju9dq I registered mine with Cyprus, it was so much easier, you don't need to do the exam, just the registration, you will need to up load a pic of you passport. It did cost €15 but it lasts for either 3 or 5 years.
Nice vid. I had a question about A2 certification and I should mention I am USA based and I plan to travel in Europe in some weeks from now. I have the Mavic 3 pro which is unfortunately, a C2 class drone. I already have my A1/A3 certification via the Luxembourgian LZ site and I can follow up with the A2 theory there as well. However, to pass the A2 exam, it seems to me that an in-person exam is needed? Is that true or is there an online version of this around?
Hey man, did you get a reply on this? Got my Mavic 3 Pro, looking to fly it next month, be great to not have to attend in anm EU country haha, from the UK.
Very helpful thank you. I’m planning to take my mavic 3 pro to Madeira in the next couple weeks and Iceland later in the year. Competent flyer but want to be legit when I go 😁
Thanks for that Sir, living in the EU and having got both my A2C of C and equivant EASA certifcates, I registered myself in The Netherlands. I am able to speak fluent Dutch, German, and Hungarian with a smattering of Spanish too. So I have set myself up to fly anywhere in Europe also having a written declaration in 3 languages for any ‘authority’ who may be interested in what and why I am flying in their neck of the woods. I utilise a DJI Mavic Air 2 as well as a DJI mini 2 as well. Once again thanks for the info it’s always good to get as much info and experienceas you can in our hobby! 👍🦉😎🇪🇺
I registered in Cyprus and is probably one the best places to fly a drone. A lot of freedom.
Definitely things are still very relaxed here on Cyprus!!
Thanks for this just what I have been looking for as thinking of flying in Cyprus and Menorca with my Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro .... As always superb content from you young man cheers Hieth
I just completed the Luxembourg test , it was great good refresher and free thanks , i am rrady to fly anywhere in the EU
If you can explain the process i would be most grateful. I am completely lost.
I looked at Luxembourg too and it appears that you either have to be a Luxembourg resident or a company. I can’t work out how to register as a tourist
@@alwaystravelling100if you search back Sean has another video with more detail. You use the site on this video. The trick is to do the free A1/A3 ticket through Luxembourg and then the operator ID equivalent in Ireland.

@@wholness3672 I did the Luxembourg training to get the certificate. I’ll register the drone in Ireland
Going to Greece this summer but won't be taking my drone (mini3Pro). You have to submit a flight plan including a map of the flight area for EVERY flight and once approved you have to take proof of the approval to a police station before you fly, even for a sub 250g drone. Totally OTT and impractical so I'm very disappointed :(
You only need to do that if flying more than 50m away, at night etc.
I was lucky enough to attend the Royal Premier of this video on the 3rd. It now looks like the riff raff have to wait 😁

Just flown dji mini 2 in Poland used droneradar app very usefull to show where you can fly using 🚦 to show if you can fly in that location
Thanks for sharing! That is a clever way to identify the airspace.
Easier to use than other apps eg altitude angel and the German equivalent
That's exactly what I did. I did my EASA Flyer ID via Luxembourg, and as I mostly fly in Poland, I applied to the Polish CAA to convert my Luxembourg certificate to be primarily valid in Poland to get a Polish operator ID.
How much did you pay for your flyer ID?
Thanks for the help. Flying to Mallorca and just got my DJI mini2 drone few days ago. I got 3 weeks to get all legal
Got one too. How did it go ?
@@malcolmberesford3323 didn't get all the legal stuff done. I still brought it. Kids and I used the GoPro mostly for the simplicity. But I had to try it once and got the 1 min clip of the hotel and rise up to spin around and catch the amazing beach we were next to. It was a success to just learn it takes more planning and effort. And with small kids it's complicated. My wife was supportive and we will plan better for the next adventure. I'm playing with editing the one clip with GoPro and phone footage now. Enjoy
Just for interest, I was previously registered in Ireland, but they wanted something like 30-euro for a year's re-registration this year. So instead I registered in France, an d it was dead easy, and free.
Excellent tip on French registration, thank you!
I’ve just been on the French registration page and it’s now 30€
@@yorkshirelass2553 ! That's a recent change then. Luckily I won't have to pay that until I renew.

Is there any news when the CAA will finally organise that party in a brewery, for the labelling system 😁
I'm wondering about buying the Mavic 3 Pro and how that might be affected in time, for the UK and also Europe.
The CAA doe's not control the law of any EU member. If money is no problem and you wish to gamble your Drone GOOD LUCK 🤣🤣🤣
Hey!! Hi Sir!
That's a really good explanation about it. Thanks for the video!
I'm flying a Mini 3 Pro in quite some countries while I'm travelling, and I did my registration via Luxembourg. So far so good.
Can u give me some tips how did you apply registration in Luxembourg. Because i was in the website and they say to download a app
Is there any maps where I can fly my 249g drone? Or I need just to fly it in nature and don't worry
@@Quasar_airborne Hi, Last year when I was in Europe I found out that Luxembourg does not permit a drone with a camera like the DJI to be flown there. Bad luck for me.
I only have a mini 3 pro but the Luxembourg site says I do not need to register. I am confused.
@@Quasar_airborne learningzone eurocontrol, A1/A3 classes.
Thanks Sean. That’s really useful. I registered in the Alpha Tango (French) website back in 2021 from Spain. It has an excellent English version. I fly a lot in Greece with a mixture of Air 2S and a Mini 3 pro. Never a problem, excellent images.
I’m trying to fly in Greece this summer & finding it complicated
Happy to hear you have negotiated it. Were you able to fly in the islands?
I flew in Santorini last year with a mini3pro, lovely experience, though in Fira Port, a captain of a tourist ship shouted over claiming I had no authority to fly (wrong, I'd cleared all flight paths with the equiv to CAA, and nothing on local app maps, airports showed up ok in same). Landed anyways just to keep the peace.
Problem in other areas was it DJI refused to take off as it would have exceeded the 120m limit, even though that was the ground level at that place (it's a VERY high island) and i wasn't skilled enough to find a ay to disable that setting, (if there is one!)
good luck all
Hi Zac. Did you get insurance for the Mini 3 Pro?
Is there any additional certificates need for drones over 250g? I will be flying my DJI Mavic 3 in Italy.
Thanks! I was able to register to fly in Norway. I just use sub 250g drones nowadays the quality is better than my original mavic pro was anyway. I would like the more telephoto lens option but a heavier drone just isn't worth it with so much more freedom with a smaller drone. I can't wait until we get a 70mm + equivalent on a mini sized drone and a pocket style gimbal device too.
Has the 120 meter altitude limit of the DJI Mini 4 been a limitation?
@@SevernayaCI I have the 3 pro.
As suggested, I looked at registering in Luxembourg.
Although reg seems free, it seems necessary to provide a current 3rd party insurance policy number in the application, which
I don't have and would only get just before confirming if / when I will actually be flying there. So... I'm stuck proceeding with reg in Luxembourg. Pity.
@@worldfromtheair thank you for saying this, i thought i had done something wrong
Thanks for the very informative video. Just a question....for sub 250g drones like the Mini 3 Pro, is insurance still required before you can fly it in Italy for example? or Switzerland?
In the video you suggested using Luxemburg as the place fir registration. The link to training on their website has been shut down due to a hack of the system. What other country do you suggest for the online training and registration that is provided in English for those of us who are nor multi-lingual. As a Mini 3 pro owner I understand I need to be registered operator.
Slovenia
I'm traveling to Portugal from the US. I plan to bring the Mini 3 Pro and maybe an FPV drone. How long does it take to process the applications for the proper registration and training certificate?
so the online examination for the A1A3 from Luxembourg is good enough to not have to apply as a UAS operator in another country? I tried to register in Luxembourg and it says you have to be a resident or have a business there. Tried registering in Italy & it says there is an error when I try to create my account (I think it didn't like that I don't have an italian tax id). HELP!
Hi. I live in Spain and have the mini 3 pro. I'm completely lost as to know how to do any of this. Do i need insurance? Can i travel with it in hand luggage or just the hold? do i need to have the registration number in my drone? I could do with some help here. Thanks!
Im going to spain in Oct with mini 3 pro , under 25kg,i need to regestion in Spain before flyingy drone,if you have information from your country,please let me know ,thx a lot！
Might be a bit late, I think each country has their own preference on whether you're insured or not, Italy requires it for all types of drone flight, even
@TheRealHaldane i recently flew from Spain to the uk and drone is registered and all went in my hand luggage.
to start with the last question: I use a mavic air and since a few months also a mini 3. Since flying in Germany, where I live, is not always easy (people publish the content of their diapers on social media but tend to cry "privacy" as soon as they see a camera or drone!), I mostly fly in Sweden where people seem to be more relaxed. I prefer to fly early in the morning or later in the evening, since you have "softer" light. If there are people around the area I want to take of from, I mostly approach them, tell them that I intend to fly, checked the legality of the location and, if the are nterested, show them the maps. I also have cards with contact details and offer them a copy of the footage if they send me an email. Since flying my drone(s) now for six years, I only once had someone "complaining", but that was more about the sound that would "disturb the filmcrew in the castle..." I took his complain, got the drone back in and returned the next morning (with much better weather) and got the shots I wanted.
If people approach me while flying, I tell them to wait untill I have safely landed the drone and so I have time and attention for them. Taking this five or ten minutes to explain the hobby, show some footage and maybe even show some direct flights takes away the concerns with most people, specially when they realize that from 120 meters above ground, you hardly recognize who is who on the ground (except me, caus I wear a blue high-visible cover while operating).
Hi there - I am looking to take my drone to Sweden this summer and would love to get some help to ensure I get all the pre planning right :) I'm based in the UK, and have my A2CofC and GVC certificate which I took here in the UK earlier this year. I'm planning on getting a DJI Mini 3 in Sweden (price difference), and fly it to film my friend's boat on the coast (in permitted areas ofc). The drone will be insured. I have my Flyer ID, and my Operator ID (and this will be stickered to the drone too), both obtained in the UK. I'm Danish so I have a Danish passport, so I am wondering this - do I need to do any additional registering under EASA to fly in Sweden / Norway / Denmark ? And am I bound to register with Denmark, even though I plan to fly in Sweden first? Or shall I instead register in Sweden? Or do I not need to do any additional registering? Thanks so much in advance! :)
@@wildandabout Good Evening (morning, afternoon, what ever is approriat)
Since the rules in europe changed, it has become easier. I suppose that you are register as operator and the operator ID is on the drone. Like in the UK, there are flightrestrictions in areas around airports, prisons, nuclear plants etc, as well as natur reservats. RIght now, I am not in my office, but I will post here some lnks that are important.
First, to the general dronemaps, showing the permanent restrictions put in place by the aircontroling authorities (LFV), then a link to the LFV where you can find NOTAM messages, which are not shown on the general maps. And finally two links to the lantmäteriet. In the first link you can see the maps of Sweden, zoom in and check if there is any naturreservat in the area you want to fly. IF so, you cannot fly there.
The second one os important if you intend to publish your footage. You do not need permission to get the footage, but BEFORE you release it, you have to present the unedited version of the footage to get the permission to publish. The proces is simple, takes only a few days and is free of charge. In the past five years, I have sent them almost 1TB on footage and never had any restrictions for publication. Don't think thes don't find out that you publish without permission, I know ofat least two cases where people got a friendliy letter to let them know, that they violated the law with the included request, to submit the footage for release.
I am in the USA. I am a Part 107 Remote Commercial Pilot. I am going to visit Greece next month. If I understand correctly, I need to take a A1, A3 in order to fly my DJI Air 3 there. Can you recommend a legitimate course in Greece( in English) that I may take? Thanks!
Wish you did this video a week ago

I would say yes
The email reply normally only takes a day or two

Was the Luxembourg exam easy
@bryanstoneman842 thank you for your quick response as I was worried if I wouldn't be able to use my drone on holiday for recreation use. I would suggest reading the chapter if you are at the beginner stage. Questions were not easy or hard. But it' s very frustrating to review your answer if you fail. But the good thing is you can take unlimited tries to make sure you pass. It took me like 5 hours to pass as I skipped through manual reading and went for exams as you don't know which question you got wrong and you don't know the right answer. Make sure you have half a day to complete the test as it can be time consuming if you are getting the question not correct.
Your videos are the clearest. We are going to Sicily, I’ve had to pay some euros to follow Italian operator registration. I’ll head over and take the EASA test now. So cert, op I’d, then copy of driving licences think I am compliant. I have noticed lots of restricted space above some towns that appear to be not safety related which is interesting.
When did you visit Italy? I’m going but omg I’m so nervous after reading it’s basically illegal to fly anywhere in Italy
@@mikebrunophoto I didn’t find it to bad. It was last year, they do have equivalent of NOTAMs on many towns. Just make sure you use there app so you know where can and can’t fly. It’s called: D-flight

I got a DJI Avata as a gift and now trying to get permission to fly it in Germany I've done the A1-A3 Certification and the A2 certification, get drone insurance and now have to register with the Ministry of Aviation and a long list of documents and then wait on an official Drone User Certification... its such a drag...
It is chaos at the moment. It is supposed to be the same rules across EASA member states, but so many countries have implemented their own requirements on top. I hope you get flying in Germany. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’m headed to Iceland, Austria, Switzerland and Germany from the USA. The sites are not easy to navigate. I hope I got it all right 🤞🏼

Can take test in Luxembourg (English) and then register drone for Spain, that's where I want to go. I'm based in UK have registration there.
Hi Sean, just a quick question if I may as I can't seem to find a definitive answer. The rules state that you should register in the country that you intend to fly first. However, what if plans change?
I am going to Northern Ireland this weekend (so can use my CAA details) but might pop over the border to Ireland. If I register there, what happens if I don't cross the border and end up flying in say France next year as my first place?
Hey Steve! The way the actual legislation is worded helps us. It states you should register in the first country you 'intend' to fly in but there is no insistence. This helps in a number of circumstances including your own. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for your help and information on this, I've just bought a new potensic atom and I want to take it away with me on a bike touring holiday in tenerife, I registered on the French site which was pretty easy with a few hiccups in that tho mainly in English there are parts in French like what nationality you are and country of residence, but I now have a operator number😊 many thanks 👍🏻

With both the drone registration number on your drone and the A1/A3 certificate passed, you are good to go. Nothing further needed for the basic levels.
@@Geeksvana so I do not have to register as UAS operator . Do I still have to use Remote ID?
Remote ID is not currently in use in France. The way the registration works is the aircraft ID and the A1/A3 cert is the registration. So you are covered.
@@Geeksvana what about insurance.

According to your video & stuff ive read online as i have already registered in Norway i need not re-register in Italy?
Hi! That is correct. You only need to register in one EASA member state. That should be the first country you 'intend' to fly in. But that can, of course, change. I did the same when registering in Ireland and flying in France. Hope this helps.

So i have a LBA registration for my drone, and my question is does that work for all countries in EU on only in germany because i want to visite Italy and im just confused
Hi! You only need to register once in any of the EASA member states. It is advisable to check on local stipulations and requirements as well. There is a link to do that in the description of this video.
Thanks for the very clear information Sean. Can anyone answer the question regarding insurance regulations? If we're operating a sub 250 drone is insurance required in the EU?...or is some of the information misleading and just trying to sell you a policy where none is needed. Many thanks!
Overall you are not required under EASA regs. However, some countries insist on at least third-party coverage and others 'expect' it.
My recommendation is to get some third party insurance to cover yourself. I would recommend something like FPVUK. You get a lot of member benefits and a great insurance policy which is valid in the EU for around £20 for the year. Hope this helps.
It certainly does help...thanks! @@Geeksvana

Hi Sean, I have an interesting question. I'm planning a trip to Switzerland in the summer so have both a Swiss issue EU Op ID and Flyer ID, no problem. I am just scanning Drone Assist for FRZs, some require authorisation to fly in and have a phone number listed so no problem there, but some also state "This peice of airspace is in effect above xxxft AGL" or "This peice of airspace is in effect above surface". So for those with an AGL specified, is it OK to fly below xxxft without authorisation and those "above surface" is it OK to fly below surface, within a gorge for example?
Sorry for the long question, but any thoughts would be great.
Wanting to fly in Spain but just a pain registering it seems its a minefield
all the best

Still a bit lost😂 i have a Mavic mini & are travelling to Cyprus in October, I have my UK flyer & operator ID, what exactly do I need to use the drone in Cyprus🤔
Hi Sean thanks for that. I am easa registered in Ireland but I intend to take the drone to Norway. I have seen videos which say the require sub 250g drones such as the mini 3 pro to have public liability insurance with significant fines for not having this of up to 1200euro. Apparently the insurance costs about 150 euro. Do you know if this is the case there or anywhere else?
I'm thinking of taking my drone to Europe. I know I need to register with the National Aviation Authority (NAA). EASA also state "Your registration number issued by the NAA must be displayed with a sticker on all of your drones and then upload it into the ‘Remote Identification System’ of your drone.".
My question is, how and where is the ‘Remote Identification System’ on a Mini 3 pro? Thanks in advance

So for example I can register my drone for Luxembourg as suggested and then use my drone in Greece? Does anyone expect evidence of me actually going to visit Luxembourg?
That is correct, and how I also handled it. The legislation only states that it should be the first place you expect to fly, rather than the actual one. Nobody will check this point because of this.

@@Geeksvana Registration completed course passed, certificate issued. thanks again for the video guidance took a lot of stress out of the procedure.
Can you fly an air 2s in Mallorca, I did do my easa a1/a3 is this possible or do I have to do something else. Also says I need liability insurance where would I get that from? Tia
Thanks for the info. Trying to register but don't understand the Tax number required. So, I keep getting the registration blocked. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance
If I am already licensed by the FAA, how do I move forward with this. Most of the countries are asking you to take a flight schools test. I am traveling to Europe this summer and I want to take my mini 2 (travel drone) with me.
Tried spain link but registration is in spanish how do i navigate?
You could use Google translate page. That s what I always do
Great video, explains it well. I thought it was in the 'too hard to do basket'. Seems if I register in Ireland, as going there on my way to Spain... and take the UK drone pilot course... I should be OK flying in remote villages throughout Spain where there are no flying restrictions that I can see on an app on my phone? Is that right? Planning on getting a DJI mini 4 pro as it has built-in ' won't crash' apparently which is a good idea I think as I have never flown anything before apart from Ryan Air! I will be visiting many remote villages, making a TH-cam series on " Can I work remotely in X" throughout remote Spain, so having drone footage of these villages will be key for the B role etc. I don't need to worry about Madrid, Barcelona and any big cities as not reviewing any town with more than 20,000 inhabitants. If that sounds like a plan be great to know if you agree or not before I invest in a drone and have it taken off me on day one :)
thanks for the video, I'm trying to register in to fly in spain however on the form I'm unable to find english, british or UK nationality so im unable to fill it out has anyone else experienced this??
Hey! Many people flying in Spain register in Ireland as it is more simple and in English. The registration still counts for Spain etc.
@Geeksvana Hi mate, I live in Northern Ireland and intend to buy a drone next week for use in different EU countries (travelling only). What’s the simplest next step for me to do? I hope to use it in Spain in April
Hi, I am from Dubai and I will be visiting Italy on Oct. This yr. For vacation. Can I bring my DJI mini 2 with me? Can I fly it there? Do I need to register it? My point of entry will be Rome. Hope you can guide me. Thanks....
Thanks sean just watched your vid thanks it was clear and well put together guide i took the test in Luxembourg how do you go about obtaining a flyer id as i would love to take my air 3 to Cyprus
Many thanks
I'm struggling to understand how to register to take my mini 3 pro to Majorca. I've looked at the Rep of Ireland, Spanish and Luxembourg versions and i cannot fathom what I'm supposed to do. I'm probably being really dumb but its just one link after another. I think ill have to resign myself to not taking my drone out of the UK. What a shame. Good video none the less.
Hi! My personal advice would be register with IAA (Ireland) as their process is in English. It takes a couple of days to setup the account, as they verify your identity.
Then take the A1/A3 course with Luxembourg as it is in English and free.
Any issues, send me an email to sean@geeksvana.com, and I can send you the specific links to the pages and talk you through anything.
Let's get you flying in the EU! It's fun and a lot more to capture than the UK 😂.
@@Geeksvana thank you very much for responding so quickly. I will take a look at the Ireland version again.
I have previously managed to get my UK operator id and flyer id, so I’m not completely useless 😂
@@Geeksvana good evening, it’s me again 🤦♂️. I’m currently registering on the Irish site. Do I need insurance to fly mini 3 pro in EU? It’s asking me if I have insurance but I currently don’t. Any ideas? Sorry about all these questions.
@weaselinjeans1 no problem with the questions at all! It isn't 100% required but 'expected'. Best route I find is FPVUK. For £25 for the year, they even cover you for commercial flights! They give EU cover included.
@@Geeksvana on it 🙌🏼. You’re a patient man 😂. Thank you.
Great video - Just recently got a mini 4 pro a few months ago - I thought it would be ok to fly in the EU with a sub 250g drone without having to go through another test - I have a flyer iD for the UK so do I still need to do the EU test to fly in the EU ?
UK is not in the EU
Hi. I am traveling to Netherlands, Belgium and France from the UK on a motorbike trip and want to fly my drone which is a DJI mini 4 pro. Can you advise what I need to do this legally and supply me with the appropriate links. The one on the link here does not appear to have any option for a non EU resident.
I have a sub 250gm Dji mini 4 pro drone planning to fly in croatia I am a non resident of the eu do I need to register if the drone is under 250gms
I, go to Tenerife about 3- 4 times per year. I’d love to take my Mini 3 Pro with me, but,, I downloaded the Enaire app ( Spanish equivalent of Altitude Angel) Seems vast swathes of the island are no fly areas. Also their rules are a lot more strict than they are here in the U.K. No flying over businesses, people etc. It seems anything that’s either fixed to the ground, or free to move, you can’t fly over them. So for now, I’m not bothering.
In Portugal the register process is next to impossible unless you are a resident. They want you to do it legally but make it next to impossible to do so!!
Also... every flight with a camera drone has to have permission and be notified 10 days in advance I believe. No dashcams allowed their either.
Hey I need help. I just got my DJi mini 2 se. And I have got my flyer ID and operation ID in the UK and passed the A1 and A3 test. I'm flying to Portugal and Mallorca next month. Trying to register my drone but it's a very complex process. Can I register my drone in Ireland and use it in any EU country? Please advise as I'm very short on time. Thank you
Hey! Best thing to do would be to register in Ireland. Even though it is recommended you register in first EASA country of use, it is not insisted on. Most people do the same, including me! Let me know if you need anything else.
@@Geeksvana Thank you for the help. I have just registered on the website and it states 3-10 days for the application to be reviewed. Do you know how long the whole process took for you as in timescale. Thank you so much.
Hi i just want to ask if i can use my france uas operator registration no. As a operator id for my trip in europe or should i still register for a drone operator to another country like cyprus?thank u for the help.
Hello i am traveling to italy from Uae and i was trying to register as operator but its asking for C.F/CIF/T.I.N but i dont have what should i fill in this?
Hello, Thank you for this information. I am a US citizen and will be traveling throughout Spain for most of September. I went through the process of getting registered as a drone operator and received a UAS operator registration #. I use a DJI mini 3 pro that is less than 250g. It seems that I can fly under the open A1 category. As I look at the maps it seems as though there are many areas that say the flight of RPAS is prohibited. I am unfamiliar with this terminology.
It seems that I will be required to purchase insurance, which I will do, but I don't know if I will have an opportunity to familiarize the A1-A3 requirements to the point of taking an exam. am I able to do things such as put my Mini 3 pro up in Barcelona to take a photo of La Sagrada Famiglia inside of a zone that says flight of RPAS is prohibited?
Thanks again!
@Geeksvana Hi, thanks for your video. I'm wondering if I can register as an Drone Operator in one EASA Member Country and get the Flyer ID (Pilot Certificate A1/A3) in another EASA Member Country?
Also, once I obtain the Pilot Certificate A1/A3 in, let's say Luxemburg, do I have to stick with Luxemburg if later on I want to obtain the A2 Certificate?
Thanks!
Great questions! They are also topics I came across myself. So...
1. Yes, you can register in on EASA and take the A1/A3 in another. (Personally, I registered in Ireland and took the Luxembourg test.
2. You can take the A2 course and pass it with a company in any member state, unrestricted by where you are registered or took the A1/A3 test with.
Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this clarification! @@Geeksvana
I bought dji mini 4 pro because of it's weight below 250g. Now I just found out that even with
Great video but i still have no idea how to complete the required forms. The Luxembourg "link" is not intuitive; or not enough for me!

Hi,
I I was thinking of flying my DJI air 2s to take shots of the atomiun in Belgium.
Is it ok
Can I fly Mavic Mini in ESA zone , coming from India, 1st country visit Italy, subsequently Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Czech Republic
I have registered in Luxembourg
Hi there I'm new to the hobby? But I like it I've registered with caa and took test 40 questions? I ordered a caa card on ebay gave them both id and op numbers it has came now but only the id number and not my op number? Does the id sticker mean that I can fly cuz they never put op number on card. Thankyou look forward to ur reply thanks shaun my name too lol.
Just tried to go to the Luxembourg site to register and its a nightmare...... am i missing something? there is no link to get to the correct form? the only link i can find says you need an ID verification to join their forms from another country and it doesnt list England. Can someone advise on how how you navigate this site?
I have just wasted half of the afternoon trying to register on Luxembourg site only to arrive at the place as you did.
@@MotoLondon-ju9dq I registered mine with Cyprus, it was so much easier, you don't need to do the exam, just the registration, you will need to up load a pic of you passport. It did cost €15 but it lasts for either 3 or 5 years.
@@Wethreetravelers Why did you not need to do the exam ?, do you have a sub 250g drone?. My drone is an Air 2s. I assume I have to do the A1A3 test.
@@MotoLondon-ju9dqyeah it's a DJI MIN2 SE, so it's below the 250g. I have done the test for England.
Nice vid. I had a question about A2 certification and I should mention I am USA based and I plan to travel in Europe in some weeks from now. I have the Mavic 3 pro which is unfortunately, a C2 class drone. I already have my A1/A3 certification via the Luxembourgian LZ site and I can follow up with the A2 theory there as well.
However, to pass the A2 exam, it seems to me that an in-person exam is needed? Is that true or is there an online version of this around?
Hey man, did you get a reply on this? Got my Mavic 3 Pro, looking to fly it next month, be great to not have to attend in anm EU country haha, from the UK.
Very helpful thank you. I’m planning to take my mavic 3 pro to Madeira in the next couple weeks and
Iceland later in the year.
Competent flyer but want to be legit when I go 😁
If you eu a2 license do you still need to take the test in uk ?
Thanks for that Sir, living in the EU and having got both my A2C of C and equivant EASA certifcates, I registered myself in The Netherlands. I am able to speak fluent Dutch, German, and Hungarian with a smattering of Spanish too. So I have set myself up to fly anywhere in Europe also having a written declaration in 3 languages for any ‘authority’ who may be interested in what and why I am flying in their neck of the woods. I utilise a DJI Mavic Air 2 as well as a DJI mini 2 as well.
Once again thanks for the info it’s always good to get as much info and experienceas you can in our hobby! 👍🦉😎🇪🇺
Wow! That was the freedom I was so looking forward to when the UK was part of EASA. Well done sir!
@@Geeksvana well having spent now more than 50 years on the Continent, I am always at home, wherever I roam or fly my Drone! 🇪🇺
I’m going to Rhodes what do I need to do to fly my mini 3 pro pls
