More and more Austrians are venturing into the air with drones, but getting started is complicated. There are regulatory hurdles, risk classifications, extensive registration and partial certification requirements. Furthermore, the drone market, dominated by a few companies, offers a wealth of different models, not all of which are suitable for every application scenario. Krone+ brings light to the drone thickets.
There have been uniform EU-wide rules for drone pilots for three years, compliance with which is monitored by national aviation authorities – in our case Austro Control. But the rules are complicated: mini-drones are also subject to registration if they are equipped with cameras. A minimum flying age, a driver’s license requirement for many models and an insurance requirement make getting started even more complicated. We tell you how to stay safe – and which drones you can still fly without registering.
