There are a number of things to be aware of depending on what training you currently hold and how you wish to fly. To get the most out of the Parrot ANAFI we highly recommend the A2 Certificate of Competency.

 

 

Where Can I Fly?

A3 - 'Far from People'

First, you will need to be registered under the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service. This means you will need to sit the online test on the CAA’s website.

You can then fly with no uninvolved people present within the area of flight (at least 50 metres); No flight within 150m horizontally of residential, commercial, industrial or recreational areas.

 

A2 'Near People'

Complete an A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC)  and fly 'closer to people' until 31/12/27 maintaining a minimum of 50-metre separation distance from uninvolved people and not directly overfly them. There is no limitation on proximity to buildings, only people.
