Some updates on common rules on drones within the EU from the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947.
No surprise that they would do this, but standardised flight restrictions, limitation, and best of all, registration certification; any commercial/recreational flight registation and licensing will apply EU wide once this comes into force. Seems like there are going to additional nuances (e.g. the ability to fly at night, over built up areas, etc.) that will be available to a pilot upon completion of the necessary training and paperwork as well. Should level the playfield for some EU countries that have overly restrictive requirements at present, although they have up to one year to implement the necessary changes.
