iFlight FPV — licence
Nazgul and Chimera — racing and long-range quads. This hub lists each model's weight, class label, NAA registration and certificate path under EU Reg. 2019/947.

Why a dedicated hub?
iFlight models differ in mass and equipment — one generic article misleads search and licence choices.
Below — model index, registration steps and Open category summary.
EASA baseline in 2026
Operator registration when the UAS has a camera or weighs more than 250 g. One number for all your aircraft.
Open category: VLOS, max 120 m above ground, respect national geo-zones and UAS geographical zones.
Subcategories A1, A2, A3 depend on aircraft mass, C class label and how close you fly to people.
Legacy aircraft (no C mark, placed on market before 1 July 2022) usually fly under A3 restrictions.
Model index
Registration step by step
1. Register once as a drone operator with your NAA (EU Regulation 2019/947, Article 14).
2. Affix your operator registration number on every UAS you own — readable without tools.
3. Upload the number into the aircraft Remote ID system when the UAS bears a C1–C4 class mark (from 1 Jan 2024).
4. Registration is operator-level: one account covers all drones in Open and Specific categories.
Fees and renewal periods differ slightly by EU member state; see your NAA portal.
Certificate path
A1/A3 is the baseline certificate for most recreational Open category operations in EASA member states.
A1/A3 remote pilot certificate: typically 40 questions, 40 minutes, 75% pass mark via your NAA online portal.
Add A2 when flying C1/C2 aircraft closer to uninvolved people under Open category A2 distance rules (min. 5 m, ideally height = distance).
A2 certificate: additional theoretical exam, often 30 questions at an NAA-approved centre, then A2 privileges in subcategory A2.
Before you fly
Check your national UTM/geo-zone map before every flight — not only the manufacturer's app.
