You can see the PDRAs available in Germany categorised according to PDRA-S and PDRA-G. PDRA-S PDRA-S01 (= mirror of STS-02 for drones without CE class) Visual contact with the UAS: Yes, mandatory (= VLOS). Ground area: Can be cordoned off and is under the control of the drone pilot. Airspace: Controlled or uncontrolled (no restrictions). Maximum flight altitude: 120 metres. Drone characteristics: Maximum size of 3 m and maximum take-off weight MTOM up to 25 kg. CE class of the drone: None required. Pilot training: A2 drone licence and practical training with recognised body. see also AMC4 of EU regulation 2019/947 PDRA-S02 (= mirror of STS-02 for drones without CE class) Visual contact with the UAS: Not required (= BVLOS) if the distance between remote pilot and drone does not exceed 1 km. a distance of 2 km is permitted if a helper is used (= EVLOS). Ground area: Can be cordoned off and is under the control of the drone pilot. Airspace: Controlled or uncontrolled (no restrictions). Maximum flight altitude: 120 metres. Drone characteristics: Maximum size of 3 m and maximum take-off weight MTOM up to 25 kg. CE class of the drone: None required. Pilot training: A2 drone licence and practical training with recognised body. see also AMC5 of the EU regulation 2019/947 PDRA-G PDRA-G01 Visual contact with the UAS: Not required (= BVLOS) if the distance between remote pilot and drone does not exceed 1 km. Otherwise yes, by yourself or by helpers ( = EVLOS). ground area: Sparsely populated. airspace: Uncontrolled with low risk of encountering a manned aircraft. maximum flight altitude: 150 m. Drone characteristics: Maximum size of 3 m and energy of max. 34 kJ. CE class of the drone: None required. Pilot training: Requirements depending on the planned mission. see also AMC2 of the EU regulation 2019/947 PDRA-G02 Visual contact with the UAS: Not required (= BVLOS). Ground area: Sparsely populated. Airspace: Restricted. Maximum flight altitude: Unlimited. Drone characteristics: Maximum size of 3 m and energy of max. 34 kJ. CE class of the drone: None required. Pilot training: Requirements depending on the planned mission. see also AMC3 of EU regulation 2019/947 PDRA-G03 (for automated monitoring and inspections of facilities and infrastructure) Visual contact with the UAS: Not required (= BVLOS). Radio contact to the UAS: direct C2-link. Ground area: Sparsely populated. Airspace: ARC-a (atypical airspace). Maximum flight altitude: 15m above obstacles. Flight range: max. 30m to the side of the obstacle. Drone characteristics: Maximum size of 3 m and energy of max. 34 kJ. CE class of the drone: None required. Pilot training: according to the planned mission. see also AMC6 of the EU regulation 2019/947
