• DRONE COURSES IN MÁLAGA

    Updated in accordance with the European ruling.

As you will know, in 2021 the new European regulations for UAS are being implemented. This leaves us a new framework of rules with changes to our drone courses in Málaga and flying requirements among many other new rules.

At One Air, we’ve adapted our course content to the new rulings and have also developed new drone courses to facilitate your registration into the AESA.

So, if these changes have caught you with the Drone on land, no need to worry, to follow we will tell you all you need to know to get you back flying again.

What are the changes in the drone pilot courses for 2023?

This new year has brought many changes to the UAS sector on all levels and the pilot training has many changes also.

From now, all pilots should demonstrate a minimum knowledge before being able to fly a drone over 250 grams in weight. For this, pilots need to pass an online exam by AESA in order to obtain the certification which allows flight in the desired category.

Also, the distinction between profesional and recreational flight has been eliminated so all operations will be evaluated and classified in function of the risks they carry.

To conclude these new rules, one to highlight is that the age restrictions to register as a pilot and drone operator to 16 years old. Recreational drones can be flown from 14 years old, or 12 years old if accompanied by an adult.

So, do I need an online drone course to pass the AESA exam?

To respond to this question, we firstly need to discuss the importance of knowing a few points:

  1. A UAS (drone) is an aircraft which should safely co-exist with other aircraft (manned or not) in airspace, and for this reason we need to be extremely conscious of what we are doing.
  2. The majority of UAS have cameras with potent cameras incorporated and are capable of capturing high quality images from a great distance which requires special care to not infringe personal intimacy and honor rights as per the data protection laws.
  3. We are certain that in addition to passing the AESA exam, you want to fly your drone securely.

For the above reasons, if you are asking is a drone course is necessary, we respond with a big fat YES!
