Do you know this?

When do you need a drone licence?

Is your drone heavier than 249 grams? Then you need to get your drone licence. This can only be done through an approved training provider, such as OmniDrones Academy.

Every minute you fly without a drone license there is a chance of a hefty fine or damages you have to pay for yourself. There have even been cases where the drone has been taken away by the judiciary.

Good clear course which can be taken online 24/7 as well as the practice exams, also the final exam can be taken online. After several practice exams, I took the final exam and passed it the first time I took the open a1/A3 course. I am very satisfied with Omnidrones Academy ordering and making the course online works very well and easy.

Good course that is perfectly doable. Easy to read and learn and divided into compact 'bites' so you don't lose everything immediately if you leave it overnight. Fine learning method in other words! The mock exams are also valuable. Have a DJI Mini 3, under 250gr, so A1/A3 and A2 are not a requirement. But still good to have this knowledge on board, I'm happy with it, highly recommended!

At OmniDrones Academy, you literally fly through everything without a hitch. From the time of application to downloading the Certificate, everything happens automatically. All you have to do is put in a little time yourself to absorb the material, take the exam, transfer money to the RDW and print your Certificate! All credit to OmniDrones Academy!

The lesson material and mock exams match well with the questions in the official exam. Would actually recommend it to every drone pilot even if you fly a drone that does not require it. The theory is easy to do, even for older people. Passed in 1 go with 92.5% of the questions correct (minimum required is 75%)

Excellent online training (A1+A3). Clear explanations through text and images. Excellent preparation for the exam. The exam is easy to take and collecting the certificate from the RDW is very simple after completion. The explanations made me pass the exam in one go.

Frequently asked questions

General

How long is the drone certificate valid?

The drone licence is valid for 5 years, after which you have to take another exam.

What is the minimum age for drone courses?

In the Netherlands, the A1/A3 and A2 drone pilot licences require a minimum age of 16.

If you are under 16 years old, you can also get the A1/A3 and A2 drone flying licence, however, you will only be allowed to fly under the supervision of someone who is 16 or older and has their A1/A3 and A2 drone flying licence.

Other age limits may apply in other countries.

Do I need to register myself or my drone?

As the owner of the drone(s), you are required to register online as an operator at the RDW. You do this by applying for an operator number. This can be done as an individual or as an organisation. You can find the costs on the RDW website.

The operator number you receive from the RDW must be visibly affixed to all your drones, for example through a sticker, branded plate or digitally programmed into your drone.

Are you flying a drone that weighs less than 250 grams and has no camera? Then registration is not required

Should my drone have an EASA CE mark?

From 1 January 2024, all drones sold ready-made that you want to fly in the OPEN category with must have a new CE label.

Depending on the weight of your drone, it will be given a C0, C1, C2, C3 or C4 label:
- Drones labelled C0 or C1 are in category A1;
- Drones labelled C2, fall into subcategory A2 or A3;
- Drones labelled C3 and C4 fall into subcategory A3.

For SPECIFIC, the C5 and C6 labels apply for the time being. Previously sold drones can sometimes get a new CE label through an update.

What happens to my drone without an EASA CE mark?

Do you have a drone without a CE label? This is subject to a transition period until 1 January 2024:

- With a drone up to 250 grams, you are allowed to fly in OPEN A1.

- Drones between 250 and 500 grams are allowed to fly in A1 with a knowledge test.

- With a drone up to 2 kilograms, you are allowed to fly in OPEN A2. An additional condition is that you keep at least 50 metres away from people.

- Drones heavier than 2 kilograms (but not exceeding 25 kilograms) fall into A3.

- Are you flying a homebuilt drone? Then you have two options:

Does your drone weigh less than 250 grams? Then you will end up in OPEN A1. The condition is that the drone cannot reach speeds of more than 70 km/hour.
Does your homebuilt drone not fall under point 1 and weigh less than 25 kilograms? Then you fall into OPEN A3. From 1 January 2023, you may fly your current drone without a CE label only in subcategory A3, except if your drone is home-built and weighs less than 250 grams: for that, A1 remains applicable.

Do only EASSA rules apply in each EU country?

No, each country may have different rules. For example, in the Netherlands we also have to deal with the Regeling Onbemande Luchtvaartuigen (ROL).

I am looking for training on government operations. Which training is suitable for this?

For certain government operations (that includes security forces operations), the ROABL regulation (= Remote Controlled Aircraft Regulation) may apply.

What is an FPV Drone and do I need a drone licence for this?

FPV drones are built for speed and manoeuvrability. They have lightweight frames and powerful motors to make the fastest turns and stunts. The cameras give you an uninterrupted view from the sky. The FPV goggles allow you to move your head to change your view, just as you would if you were actually flying.

Want more information about FPV Drones? Then click here.

For FPV drones, you also need a drone licence, but note you need to work with an observer who will monitor the airspace and territory for you.

Can I fly my drone in the dark?

The general EASA rule says this is allowed, but this may vary from country to country.

For example, flying in the dark is not allowed in the Netherlands.

More information on this topic can be found here.

Is OmniDrones an accredited trainer?

Yes, OmniDrones is a recognised examination institute, accredited by ILENT.

Why is there no VAT on my invoice?

As OmniDrones is a CRKBO respected institution, we are allowed to offer our product VAT-free.

All-in drone training

What does the All In course look like?

The course is largely available online. It includes an online exam for A1/A3 with 40 multiple choice questions and the online exam of 30 multiple choice questions for A2 under online supervision.

In addition, you will have to declare that you have gained some practical knowledge with your drone. This is in the form of a practical self test, which you can do yourself. After you have taken the test, you will sign this declaration; you do not need to send it to us.

Keep these well, should you get audited you may be asked for them!

What am I allowed to do after an All In course?

With this training in your pocket, you will be allowed to fly in both A1/A3 and A2 categories. This means you are allowed to fly a drone up to 25 kilograms.

Keep in mind that the drone must be registered in many cases. The drone may fly at a maximum height of 120 metres and must also remain within direct sight of the pilot. With a drone up to 4 kg in the A2, you are allowed to get up to 5 metres horizontal distance near people with a low-speed function. Without a low-speed function, it is 30 metres horizontal distance. However, there is a general ban on flying above (groups of) uninvolved persons. In A1/A3, the drone must stay 150m away from buildings, industry and recreational areas.
