The non-profit’s pilots must comply with all current legislation. Every pilot within the association (whether using a personal drone or one provided by the non-profit) must hold at least a European A1/A3 License. Information on how to obtain these licenses can be found in the following section.

Procedure for obtaining CE marking for DJI Mavic 3 / Matrice M30
Operator Number
You must register as a “UAS operator” with the BCAA via an online portal before starting your operations. Upon completion of the registration process, you will receive a UAS operator registration number, which you must display on all UAS you use.
You do not need to register if you use a UAS weighing less than 250 g that is not equipped with a camera or any other sensor capable of collecting personal data.
Your UAS itself does not need to be registered.
You will be able to fly in all other European Union Member States using your registration number.
