Rules are rules and look good in the eyes of ignorant bureaucrats. How will anybody measure that 150 miters away for a C2 drone? The pilot position can't be used. Why make rules that can't be supervised? Slow mode and 30 Much is a farse.
Having an A1/A2/A3 certificate I shake my head.
Violating those rules, there's no punishment set, in
Use the brain and common sense flying safely in the intention of all those rules.

Maximum 120 meters in the free Imagine flying over the forest and there's a stream being crossed. How wide does the stream need for the air traffic rules to force the drone go down towards the water?....

I live in Germany and i already went trough the A1/A3 drone licence. It costed me 20€ and you learn valuable laws and restrictions in regards to fly safe. The exam isn't actually that long and in a few houres your a drone pilot. Most drones fall under the category C0 and C1 (being the under 900g) it is not as bad. Some are pretty obvious rules and after all i think no one should endanger people that aren't part of your program anyway. It avoids collision. It's just hard to then use the drone were it's populated since you basically can't. Nature (that isn't naturvreserves) is best place to fly.

This whole thing is ridiculous....where is the evidence for this great hobby to be a danger to anyone? Nobody has been killed by a model plane or drone, or even badly injured....if anyone out there knows better and can furnish the evidence, then let us all know.

Do you know what? It is all about money, moolah, bucks, yen, whatever you want to call it. It is time we all grew a pair and stand together to call out the regulators, shame on them all for ruining a fantastic hobby.

[goldfinger]

I still want people in high places to come and demonstrate the 30meter rule, and when I'm vertical above the people. My space on the ground is about 200 sq cm, outside that space, I'm not flying over people. Oh, don't you just LOVE "grey area".

[MisterCharles]

I received a DJI Avata version one as a gift and I went online and did the A1-A3 and A2 certification and I'm still confused about where I'm allowed to fly this drone and as I live in Germany I really don't want problems with the police.

[bizgeti]

It is terribly sad that it has come to this. Restrictions, laws, fines, licenses, etc.. One day we will need a license to own a fridge.

[neilfoster]

Thanks Henrik. Although I am English, I do hold the EASA Flyer ID and Certificate of Competence as I do fly in the EU. A very well presented video that explains the new rules in a clear and precise way.
Happy New Year to you.

[ziwarlahsh]

Thanks, Henrik, well explained!
However, this is just the easiest part, because after overcoming all these complications and obtaining all the requirements: license, insurance, and drones. Then the second layer of ridiculous local rules come to apply, where technically you have to find a desert in Europe to fly your tiny selfie stick😵‍💫, really I don't know guys how you manage your flights legally🤔

[timdennis]

Well explained and I can't be thankful enough I don't live in the EU.

[technickr]

Are private selling w/o a Classmark still allowed?

[theworldssexiestman]

These new regulations have nothing to do with safety, as drones have been operating for years without serious problems. It is just another way to restrict private consumers. And Norway (which is not part of the EU) is charging 1400 NOK (about 124 euros) for the practical test for the larger drones. They are just trying to kill the hobby.

I bought a dji mini 2 SE december 18th, what do i need to do? Do i need to register it and fix a number on it? How much does this cost? How long untill the number expires (do i need to repay every year)? What if i dont registee it, what will the maximal fine be? Is there a website where i can find easy info for the mini 2 SE or about the registration?

[kounchev]

Is it in open category required to ask for flight permit if in a non restricted zone. In Greece it seems you need to ask for flight permit each time you want to fly

[jan]

What if uninvolved people enters my flying /landing area ( fly fixed wing also)

[TheCodeCreator]

Soon, we will only be able to fly indoors. And later, only in the bathroom.
Thank you for your excellent video! Happy New Year!

I recently bought a DJI Mini 4k about 1 week ago and removed the limit from 120M to 500M.

So now I have my drone declassified, even after January 1, 2024.

Do I need a label? Cx or C1?

Will I continue to receive brand updates?

[jean-chridrone]

It seems that the Air2s at the end of January 2024 will be retromarked with the C1 label said DJI 🤩

[PeterChester-eovn]

I have a DJI Air 3 in Spain, for recreational use only. I have registered as a Drone Pilot and passed the A1/A3 exam. Is it necessary to register my drone also? If so How? The only place I found to register accepted all the details of the drone but after completing the form basically said this registration is only for use in the specialized category with no mention as to where to register for the Open category. I would be grateful to hear if anyone from Spain has managed to register a C1 drone for OPEN use only or if it is in fact necessary.

[larryg]

If this was about safety, they would immediately make the changes. This proves it's about power and control.

[Lee-zggx]

Just wish the UK CAA/DofT would get their finger out their arse, and stop these mind numbing consultation periods, and create the bloody rules.
I get why it’s happening, but they should have just copied the EASA full stop! 😡
