EU A2 Drone Licence
The new EU drone regulation (EU) 2019/947 came into force on January 1st, 2021. This means that in order to fly most drones you need the EU A1 / A3 Proof of Competency or the EU A2 Certificate of Remote Pilot Competency. This certificate is also often referred to as the EU drone license and you can acquire it easily via the Exam Center DE.PStF.029 at uas365.com. We are officially accredited by the German Aviation Authority LBA as an examination center. We are one of very few centers in Germany who offers the A2 course and exam in English. Our training and exercise material is compiled by experts and prepares you perfectly for the exam and also for everyday flying afterwards! The course takes you through all relevant topics in a structured manner with the help of many illustrations so that you become a drone expert within a short time.
