European Union Drone Pilot
Preparation Course
(EU Remote Pilot Preparation)
For Thai pilots who wish to fly legally in Europe
within the EASA framework and international safety standards.
Prepare for the A1/A3 Attestation certification exam.
This course is designed to help Thai pilots prepare for the certification exams and fly legally in Europe under the EASA regulatory framework.
We do not only teach how to pass the exam.
The course prepares Thai pilots to understand the legal structure, operational classifications, and responsibilities of remote pilots.
So that they can operate in Europe with confidence, safety, and professionalism.
Why Preparation Before Flying
to Europe Is Important
The European Union requires remote pilots to complete online training and certification under a national system before operating aircraft within the EU.
Even as a tourist, not having the correct attestation may result in fines or an immediate flight ban.
Advance preparation is therefore essential, not optional.
What is EASA
and how does it relate to you?
EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) is the European Union's aviation safety regulatory body.
Drone operations in Europe are regulated under the same regional legal framework, categorized by type of operation, such as:
Open Category (A1/A3, A2)
Specific Category
Certified Category
This course covers A1/A3 levels, which are the basic levels most tourists need to have.
The received attestation allows you to fly in all EU member states, subject to each country's restrictions.
Countries outside the EU that use drone laws within the EASA framework.
Norway (including tourist areas such as the Lofoten Islands) Iceland Liechtenstein
Note: An EU drone pilot license can cover multiple countries.
Subject to specified conditions, and always check the specific restrictions of the destination country.
Compare the EU with Thailand.
Thailand (CAAT)
Register the pilot and aircraft.
Permission is requested to fly in certain areas.
Mandatory third-party liability insurance.
European Union (EASA Framework)
Take the online test before the operation.
A Remote Pilot Identifier is required.
Maintain distance from people and areas.
There is a clear category system.
Those who understand the CAAT system will find it easier to learn the EU Framework, but they need to understand the structural differences.
Problems commonly encountered by Thai tourists.
And the solutions.
Many tourists own drones and intend to use them during their travels.
But they hesitated due to legal uncertainties.
Common problems include:
-
I'm not sure if a license is required.
