Description
Since 01 January 2021, new drone rules have been in force across Europe, which are governed by Regulations (EU) 2019/947 and 2019/945. They harmonize the requirements for drone flight in the individual member states. In this context, drone pilots must also acquire other licenses in categories A1/A3 or A2.
The EU Remote Pilot Certificate / Drone Operators License exam consists of 30 questions covering the topics of meteorology, UAS flight performance, and technical and operational mitigation of risks on the ground. To pass the exam, you must correctly answer at least 75% of the questions across all subject areas.
This is a face-to-face examination conducted on laptops using the latest examination software. Successfully passed exams are sent directly to the LBA for issuance of the remote pilot certificate. The LBA charges a fee of 30 EUR for the issuance of the certificate.
The exam lasts 45 minutes. Including introduction, preparation and evaluations, you should allow approximately two hours. In order for the exam to take place, a minimum of 5 examinees is required. Group exams are also possible at your premises on request.
