FORGET EXISTING RULES based on:          

Flight / Operation

Pilot

Operator "exploitant".

 

The new legal basis consists of:

  • Regulation EU 1139/2018 (EASA basic regulation) extends EU competence to all UAS
  • Only civil drones, but possible to opt-in for state and military aircrafts
  • National aspects limited to the creation of GEO-zones.

Two important reglementations:

  1. Implementation Act (IA): requirements related to operation and registration (2019/947, published in EU Official Journal 5/6/2020)
  2. Delegated Act (DA): requirements related to CE marking, technical requirements, maintenance of UAS and 3rd-country operators (2019/945, published in EU Official Journal 20/7/2020)
