Drone Regulations

The new drone regulations are designed to align with the

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and build on the
new Drone and Model Aircraft Registration Scheme in the
UK. The main reason to do this is so that Europe as a whole
are operating under the same standard rather than having
different regulations in each country.
The new regulations and classifications are based around three basic concepts; Type of operation
being conducted; Level of risk involved and; The level of performance/capabilities required.

“Using Coptrz has given us the opportunity to use our

drone for our current business needs which will be
mainly for external and internal building inspections.
The course was very in depth and provided sufficient
knowledge for us to pass the assessment, both theory
and practical. The trainer was very thorough and the
course handouts were well structured. Coptrz have also
reviewed our Operations Manual which will enable
us to apply for our PfCO. We purchased our Mavic 2
Enterprise Zoom through Coptrz which was delivered
in no time at all. I would highly recommend Coptrz for
Drone Training and they are always available to be
contacted if any information or queries are needed.”
