Hi everyone,
Nice to meet you!
I’m considering buying a Mavic 3 Classic to shoot awesome videos once I travel (EU / Extra EU) (going to the Maldives in December) however I’m just rethinking now my decision as I live in London and:
1- from the little I have seen there basically is no zone where to fly (Richmond park and a couple of other minor spots?)
2- although the classic is C1 certified there seem to be a lot of restrictions to fly in the UK overall and I don’t think the same easier EU C1 regulations apply here?
I’m a little confused to be honest by all the regulations and lack of alignment of the CAA with the EU.
I suppose the Mavic 3 Classic would fall under the A2 category so I would need to always be 50m away horizontally from people and can’t fly over? Also would I need to get the flyer ID and operator ID right?
Sorry for the long post.. final question.. what does A2 transitional mean? Apparently up until 2026?
Thank you so much for your help,
A keen pilot
