r/drones – [EU regulations] Mavic Air 2 – clarification on EU regulations
So, I’m from Belgium => falling under the new EU regulations regarding drones.
I bought last month a DJI Mavic Air 2, and now I’m looking to make the paperwork (yep, I flied without any knowledge about the regulations). I used SPF mobilité for my research but I would need some help on some topics :
What I know :
– Mavic Air 2 can falls under the OPEN category
– It -should- be a C1 drone (A1 rules)
– It is not Cx certified => it falls under A3 rules (yep, heavier than 250g)
– A1 rules are pretty permissives while A3 are really less permissive
What I don’t know :
– Am I really stuck to the A3 rules because the drone is missing the C1 sticker? The site explains clearly that “older” drones will never be Cx certified.
– Do I need to buy a “new” Mavic whenever they are Cx certified just to jump from A3 to A1?
– Do we know on manufacturer side if/when they plan to provide Cx certifications for their drones?
– Can the Mavic Air 2 fly under the “SPECIFIC” regulations if I want to AND I make all the paperwork/examinations even without a Cx certification?
