Ātra atbilde
Yes — for typical hobby flying you need A1/A3. Exceptions are extremely narrow (e.g. indoor flights not affecting third parties).
Weight and camera rules
Under 250 g without camera: fewer registration duties, but A1/A3 still required for Open category.
Camera or over 250 g: operator and UAS registration required in EU states.
Which certificate do you need?
Your aircraft class (C0–C4) also affects which subcategory you may use.

- STS / Specific — commercial or complex operations
How to get certified
Book the A1/A3 theoretical exam through your NAA or an approved provider. Prepare with timed mock exams on A2STS before paying exam fees.
