Here are its main characteristics: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It applies to drones <strong>weighing less than 250 grams<\/strong> , or to certain heavier drones marked with a C0 class.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pilot is allowed to fly <strong>over people<\/strong> , provided that he does not intentionally fly over them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No <strong>remote pilot exam<\/strong> is required for drones under 250g (but online training is mandatory).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A drone weighing less than 250g can be used to take pictures of your garden.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1-1024x682.avif\" alt=\"Antigravity A1 Drone\" class=\"wp-image-36328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1-1024x682.avif 1024w, https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/droneandcam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/antigravity-drone-1.avif 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sous-categorie-a2-proximite-et-precautions\">Subcategory A2: Proximity and Precautions<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subcategory A2 requires more advanced skills and additional precautions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It concerns drones weighing <strong>less than 2 kg<\/strong> marked C2, and requires a distance of 30 meters from people, which is reduced to 5 meters if the remote pilot has a class A2 certification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pilot must pass a Class A2 <strong>remote pilot exam<\/strong> .<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flying is generally permitted in <strong>populated areas<\/strong> , but with restrictions and risk assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A 1.5 kg drone can be used to film a construction site, respecting safety distances and having obtained the necessary certification.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sous-categorie-a3-distance-et-securite\">Subcategory A3: Distance and Safety<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subcategory A3 is intended for operations presenting the highest risks and imposes the strictest restrictions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It applies to drones weighing <strong>less than 25 kg<\/strong> and to C3 class drones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The flight must be carried out at a safe distance of at least <strong>150 meters from populated areas<\/strong> , buildings, and gatherings of people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pilot must have completed <strong>online training<\/strong> and passed a theoretical exam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> Inspecting a wind turbine, while respecting safety distances and planning the flight.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tableau-recapitulatif\">Summary Table<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Subcategory<\/th><th>Drone Weight<\/th><th>Permitted Operations<\/th><th>Pilot Requirements<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>A1<\/td><td>&lt; 250g \/ Class C0<\/td><td>Flying over people (without intentional overflight)<\/td><td>Mandatory online training<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A2<\/td><td>&lt; 2kg \/ Class C2<\/td><td>Flights close to people (with distance)<\/td><td>A2 Remote Pilot Examination<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A3<\/td><td>&lt; 25kg \/ Class C3<\/td><td>Fly far from people and populated areas (150m)<\/td><td>Online training, theoretical exam<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, the choice of subcategory depends on your <strong>type of operation<\/strong> and the <strong>drone<\/strong> used.
