REGULATION, SIMPLIFIED
Open category: three subcategories
The open category of the European regulation covers almost all recreational flights. Your subcategory depends on your drone’s class (C0 to C4) and your training.
A1 — over people
Light drones (C0, C1). No intentional overflight of bystanders, never over crowds.
A2 — close to people
C2 drones with the A2 certificate: down to 30 m from people (5 m in low-speed mode).
A3 — far from people
Heavier drones. 150 m from residential areas, with no bystanders nearby.
