Through the EU drone laws, the use of drones are divided into certain categories according to their size and use. These 3 categories are:
1. Open - this category is for lower-risk operations where the drone is always in sight and never exceeds an altitude of 120 meters. There are 3 subcategories of this classification, which are A1, A2, and A3. The risks associated with this type of operation are low and do not need authorization from a National Aviation Authority before flight. Some Elios 3 operations fall under this category.
2. Specific - this category is for advanced operations, such as flights that are beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) or in proximity to people - Operations Over People (OOP), or for multi-drone flights as in fleets. For operations in the Specific Category, except for operations under a Standard scenario, the pilot or operator of the drone must have operational authorization from the national authority before they take off. Some Elios 3 operations fall under this category.
3. Certified - this is for higher-risk operations. Operations in this category could include drone taxis or the transport of hazardous goods. The drone and the pilot must be certified.
