The DronePilot Basic (A2) training is the mandatory training for drone pilots who want to fly in higher risk categories. You take the course online and also complete it with an online theory exam. Because you are allowed to fly heavier drones in built-up areas after completing this course, you are also required to take an additional online exam. With the obtained certificate, you can apply for the (European recognised) drone licence and are allowed to fly all types of drones. Moving on to an Advanced course is possible after this. The following drones are covered by the DronePilot Basic (A2) course:

• Current drones without Cx labels from 250 grams to 2 kilograms
• Current drones without Cx labels from 2 to 25 kilograms (minimum 150 metres distance from people and buildings, among others)
• Future drones from 250 to 4 kilograms, with CE mark C0, C1 or C2
• Future drones from 4 kilograms to 25 kilograms, with CE mark C3 or C4 (minimum 150 metres distance from people and buildings, among others)
