I've been on a quest to demystify the EU's drone regulations for my upcoming projects but seem to hit a wall with the complex legal jargon and the myriad of rules. The EU Drone Regulation, fully implemented since January 2021, categorizes drone operations but the deeper I dive, the murkier it gets. It seems like a labyrinth designed for legal experts rather than drone aficionados like us.
I'm reaching out to you all for some enlightenment:
Can anyone break down the essence of the 'open', 'specific', and 'certified' categories in layman's terms?
How do the A1, A2, and A3 subcategories within the 'open' drone category practically affect our drone operations?
What's the bare minimum I need to do to keep my drone flights legal in the EU? (Think licenses, registrations, exams)
And on a side note, I'm curious about your personal take on these regulations:
Do you feel these rules are fostering innovation and safety, or are they more of a hindrance?
Your insights could be a beacon for many of us navigating these regulatory waters. Thanks for shedding some light on this!
