C4 class drones in the EU framework

Aircraft class and operational category must align — buying the wrong class blocks legal flights.

1. What C4 means

C4 is a manufacturer assurance class with defined mass and capability limits under open category rules.

2. A1 operations with C4

Typically supports flying over uninvolved persons with light aircraft under strict conditions — read your manual.

3. When A2 is still required

Heavier missions near people with C2 aircraft need A2 competency — class alone does not replace certificates.

4. Exam relevance

Questions contrast classes C0–C4 and link to subcategories — study comparison tables.

5. Buying advice

Match aircraft class to the missions you sell commercially — not only to hobby plans.
