Confused about Spain drone rules (for Mini 3 Pro)

[winmeister6]

Hello guys. Thanks again in advance.

I am from UK. I am member with FPVUK, and have UK ID and operator ID (after passing my online test). Then I was planning to take my drone to EU, so I have taken IAA tests and registration, to be compliant with EASA regulation. This IAA (Ireland) EU should be it to use in Spain?

Now, I read that, If I go to Spain, I need to register and take tests as well? As I understand EASA is if you have EU operator ID, that's it.

Planning a short trip to Spain Saturday and I don't fully understand.

Any experts can help with my question please?

Thanks

Your EASA ID is sufficient for flights in the Open Category, however regions can set their own rules that restrict things in local areas. More information at the Spanish Aviation Authority website: How to fly a UAS in Spain | AESA-Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea - Ministerio de Fomento

As long as you got the EASA Flyer ID and Operator ID and I believe insurance you are good to go. Like anywhere you will have restrictions but just use your common sense. You FPVUK insurance will cover you throughout Europe and make sure you have the OP ID displayed on the Drone
