What to gift a drone enthusiast: useful beats another gadget

Why exam prep makes a great gift

Remote pilots often know they need A1/A3, A2 or STS – but daily work wins over study time. Gifting structured preparation with timed simulations means you help them start, not just remind them about rules.

Ideal for hobbyists, photographers, videographers and anyone moving toward commercial operations where a certificate becomes mandatory.

• One-time payment – lifetime access, no subscription
• NAA-style simulations and topic drills with explanations
• Recipient chooses when to start (12-month voucher validity)

Who is it for?

Anyone preparing to fly drones legally in the EU or upgrading from open-category limits.

• Hobby pilots after A1/A3
• Creators flying closer to people (A2)
• Operators targeting STS (specific category)
• Friends who keep saying “I’ll book the exam next month”

Best occasions

Birthdays, holidays, graduations, or a new drone purchase. It also works as a nudge before NAA registration when they already study but lack a realistic simulator.

Teams can buy 2–50 codes in one checkout with CSV export – useful for schools and agencies.

Which plan to choose?

Match the gift to what they already hold and how they fly. When unsure, the A2+STS bundle is the safest single voucher.

• A2 Premium – open category, closer to uninvolved persons
• STS Premium – specific category operations (A2 recommended first)
• Bundle – both premium paths in one gift

How to buy and deliver

On the gift page you pick a plan, checkout via Stripe, and receive a premium PDF with a unique code in ~2 minutes. No account required to purchase.

Forward the email to the recipient or print the voucher. They redeem at /redeem, sign up or log in, and the plan applies automatically.

Other gift ideas (and why a voucher wins)

Batteries, bags and filters are nice – but rarely accelerate licensing. Exam prep is an investment in what they already plan to do: pass the theory test and fly compliant.
