A2 CofC UK DRONE TRAINING - DJI Air 3 - Full Walk Through

[@aliensstolemybeer5362]

As of January this year in the uk, the air 3 is allowed to fly in the open category.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

It's always been in the Open Cat but in A3 or A2 if you have done A2cofc. You can't use it in A1 cat unless you join a club and fly Article 16 rules

[@aliensstolemybeer5362]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency totally disagree.

[@StrivingMen]

What drone do you recommend for taking some photographic and videos inside church services and events ? Thank you for these tutorials !

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Definitely don't fly a drone indoors with people near. Put a camera on a cable that tracks back and forth.

[@elliotgray4729]

Agree with @slipstreamcreativeagency. You should not fly a drone indoors with people around. Your best option would be a stationary camera that can track a subject, or a camera operated by a person. For OUDOOR events, a Mini 3/4 or one of the newer Air drones would work well, as long as you follow the relevant rules and carry an A2 CofC for the larger drone.

I have a question. If i have a sub 250g drone operating in a1 airspace , can i fly commercially with that drone if so what insurance would i need for a sub 250g to fly commercially in in a1 airspace

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Go to moonrock, coverdrone or join fpvuk

[@elliotgray4729]

CoverDrone are a good option for insurance with very reasonable pricing structures. (Annual, Day(s), Month only/rolling)

Thanks i started my training with Copterz 2023 benefits you register study free and pay £86 for the exam. Will take my GVC with UAV HUB

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Agree. Definitely use UAVHUB. Just completed mine with them.

[@WhatAWorld99]

Is the Air 3 not a C1 classified drone, so the training would make no difference to permitted usage?

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

C1 is irrelevant in UK. We haven't adopted European regs. It's over 250g so not A1 but A2 Open Category. Top tip, join FPVUK and fly under Article 16 rules, which means you can fly in a park as you would a sub 250g drone.

[@Tristan]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency The Air 3 weight doesn't necessarily enter the A2 subcategory by default though right? only if you fly near to people?

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

So you can fly Air 3 in the A3 category and fly 150m from people. If you take the A2 cofc you can fly 50m from people horizontally, no overlying of people. If your a hobbyist in UK join FPVUK and fly your Air 3 in A1 cat in parks.

[@aliensstolemybeer5362]

Fake information. The air 3 is allowed to be flown in the same category as the sub 250 gram drones ​@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency
