UA – EASA Drone Definition

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.
