Getting close with drone

[kvetner]

I wasn’t convinced by that article about retrospective C-classification - it seemed to be reading way too much into a DJI marketing blog post.

Assuming no retrospective marking, then it’s a legacy drone that can be flown in A2 for 2 years with A2 CofC, and A3 after that.

See here:

EASA and the UK!

Here’s my attempt to explain which categories we’ll be able to fly our existing drones in from the end of the year (assuming changeover to EASA regs goes as planned). I’m happy to be told if I’ve got anything wrong, otherwise hopefully it’s of some use to somebody. I’ve just gone with a series of “popular brand” drones (not to scale!) but included the weight boundaries for anyone with other makes and models. [EASA Open Category by Weight of Drone]
