A2 Drone Pilot Training & Certification

What is A2 Drone Pilot Training and Certification?

The A2 subcategory of the European Open Category allows suitably qualified pilots to fly certain drones closer to uninvolved people than A1/A3 permits, within the limits set by the regulations. It builds on A1/A3 with more detailed theory on risk, weather and aircraft performance.

Why it matters

Pilots who need to work in built-up or busier areas benefit from the extra knowledge and the wider operating flexibility the A2 qualification allows.

What ITPro provides

The program covers operational risk awareness, meteorology, aircraft performance, ground risk mitigation and procedures for operating closer to uninvolved people within applicable regulatory limits.

Training also supports preparation for the required practical self-training declaration and examination process.

Typical use cases

• A1/A3 pilots wanting to operate closer to people within legal limits
• Photographers and surveyors working in urban areas
• Professionals preparing for regular operational use
• Teams standardising pilot knowledge

How it fits with related services

A2 training follows on from A1/A3, is complemented by practical flight training and flight planning, and prepares pilots for commercial and enterprise drone operations.
