UA - EASA Drone Definition

UA = Unmanned Aircraft

Definition

UA = Unmanned Aircraft

The UA is the flying device itself - the drone airframe and its installed systems - without the ground control components.

Regulatory context

EU 2019/947 - aircraft-centric requirements such as class marking and remote ID.

Why it matters for pilots

C-class and legacy rules apply to the UA, not just the operator.
