Qualifications required to be able to pilot a Drone / UAS

A1 / A3

Open Category

The operations in subcategory A1 are carried out avoiding the overflight of non-participants and concentrations of people.

Operations in subcategory A3 are carried out in controlled land areas where no non-participating person is exposed at risk and at a minimum horizontal safety distance of 150 m from residential, commercial, industrial or recreational areas.

A2

Open Category

Operations insubcategory A2 are carried out maintaining a horizontal safety distance of at least 30 m from persons not participating in the operation.

Operations in subcategory A2 will only be performed with UAS that carry the class C2 marking label.

STS

Specific Category

The ‘specific’ category comprises thoseUAS operations with a medium riskthat cannot be performed in the open category.

Before carrying out air operations in a specific category with UAS, it is necessary for an operator registered in Spain to request and Obtain an operational authorization issued by the State Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter AESA) or present a declaration regarding an operation that conforms to a standard scenario.

Course, Drone Pilot Exam in Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca

Do you want to be a professional drone pilot?

Working as a drone pilot can be an exciting profession, in an industry that is clearly growing.

Our courses are adapted to the new European drone / UAS regulations – EU Delegated Regulation 2019/945 and EU Execution Regulation 2019/947.

Next we will show you the classes of drones and the necessary titles to be able to pilot them.

Ibiza Drone Works is an entity authorized and recognized by AESAto teach theoretical and practical classes.

We also take a flight test to get the practical STS.

DEPENDING ON UAS / DRONE YOU WANT TO PILOT, YOU WILL NEED A CERTIFICATE OR OTHER
