    greetings from northern Italy

    I have attached the table, and up through the MiniPro 4, it still is classified as CO. I have the Mini2. The fact that it has a camera means it has to be registered. There is no training requrement other than to read the users manual I had registed the drone at d-flight.it and (received a...

    Eu Registration

    I registered as a UAS operator and registered my Mini2 in Italy through d-fliight.it for an upcoming trip in early May. It was a nightmare for several reasons: The web-site was flakey and would give errors just to create an account, once the account is created you have to go through all sorts of...

    Drone insurance required for EU operator registration. Recommendations?

    That's a good point. And I will take a copy of the coverage with me and hopefully if necessary, I can use that for such purposes.

    Drone insurance required for EU operator registration. Recommendations?

    I am going to Italy in May 2024 for about 3 weeks with a Mini 2 for recreational use. I live in the USA. I registed as a UAS pilot and the drone on d-flight. I am now looking for drone liability insurance. I've seen skywatch.ai website. Any one used this or can recommend a low cost month plan?

    greetings from northern Italy

    I just went through the horrendous process of registering my mini 2 drone and as an operator on d-flight.it. There are about 25+ steps you have to go through, and taken me nearly 2 hrs. I orginally had difficulty just creating an account with d-flight. I tried for 2 weeks getting same error. I...

    Thanks for the advice. I was going to enter a series of digits that had the same length as a SSN, but something has to be entered.. no matter what I'd, including starting again still gives the same error. Their support does not address the error and only refer me to a guide all written in Italian
