Just landed at paphos airport in Cyprus. Waiting in baggage reclaim and spotted a big banner headed ‘Are you a drone pilot’. It proceeded to give a concise list of do’s and dont’s, excellent stuff

Unless the Dos were “Go home!” and the Don’ts were “Don’t come to Paphos”, of course. :wink:

But that is good that they appreciate the need for the information.

Can you take a pic of the sign and post?

I moved this thread over to the Travel-Tips category, too. :wink:

It was things like vlos, fly only in daylight & good weather, 8km from airfields, max height 50m. I’ll try and get a picture on my way back

Hi, I’m off to Cyprus in November with work and looking for advice over what I should be doing… I’ve checked the laws there and registered as it’s free. I’ve got Lipo bag and battery terminal covers…

Is there anything else I should be thinking about or should do?

I’m just hoping weather is good because my wee mavic Air hasn’t flown for a few weeks with the rubbish weather.

Yes drain the batteries to 50 percent and show them going through security. Who are you flying with?

Moved your post to a pre-existing thread about Cyprus.

Newbie question…

I’m going to Cyprus in a few weeks and looking forward to taking my shiny new mini 4 pro. I know I need to get the EASA cert/registration (and the Cyprus documentation will be in English, so that’s an obvious option) but I was wondering if there’s a guide on the best place to get your qualifications ahead of a trip to Europe. I’ve seen Ireland, Cyprus and Luxembourg mentioned in other posts - each with different price and length of validity of the cert.

Is there a ‘best’ place to get this in terms of cost, ease of access and length of cert?

Thanks in advance!
Simon

Thanks, but my question was less about flying in Cyprus specifically, and more about EASA requirements and best place to acquire the certs before heading over there. The Cyprus thread you moved my question to is pretty old and doesn’t appear to be very active.
